Emergency services provided initial medical aid to one of the suspects, a 17-year-old whose identity was not disclosed by the police, in serious condition after sustaining a gunshot wound to the left side of their back. The injured suspect was quickly transported to a local hospital for urgent treatment.
Saensuk police reported that investigative units from Banglamung, Mueang Chonburi, Samet, and Saen Suk collaborated on tracking down motorcycle thieves operating in the area.
