On December 28, 2011, 31 year-old Panida Suwankot stole a white Chevrolet Captiva car from the home of Ilada Ngampiches, a daughter of Palang Chon MP Sansak Ngampiches.
Panida was arrested by police from the Khlong Tan Police Station at the See Kew vehicle checkpoint in Nakhon Ratchasima Province.
The suspect confessed that she posed as a babysitter at Ilada's home in Suan Leamthong Village within the Suan Luang District.
Afterwards, she stole the car during the night and resold it to her friends.
She further confessed that this was not her first time, as she has committed vehicle theft twice before, and that each time she received a quota of 60,000 to 100,000 baht.
