The wife of former National Police Chief, Ms. Sirinadda Hakparn, was arrested on Thursday after a warrant was issued at the request of police at Phra Nakhon Police Station. The arrest related to an allegation of the theft of ฿5.7 million worth of luxury goods from an apartment in the Bang Chak area of the district last Friday. The complaint was filed by a Police Colonel, who is a Police Cadet Academy instructor.
The complaint in the case was made by a 50-year-old Police Colonel who is a Royal Police Cadet Academy instructor in the Sam Phran area of Bangkok.

Among the luxury items in the bags were two Patek Philippe luxury watches and a luxury shoulder bag. The complaint filed with police alleges that Ms. Sirinadda entered the condominium and took the bags.

However, as she entered the police station, a group of reporters posed questions to her. Indeed, she did not wish to engage with reporters but did take time to deny the charge.
Her demeanour was polite but at the same time anxious to meet investigators. “I didn’t do it. As for any damages, I will assign my lawyer to handle them,” she said. Afterwards, investigators were just as determined to keep quiet about the case.
They did, however, confirm that charges had been filed and were being processed. Nonetheless, no decision was communicated with regard to bail.
