Last week a man was arrested in connection with a house robbery that took place in Bangkok almost 11 years ago which involved five other suspects who have already been detained. It suggests police can pursue old cases effectively if they put their mind to it.
This particular case is worth recalling because by accident it led to the person who was robbed landing in hot water himself. The more the case unravelled the more bizarre it became.
It began in a relatively straightforward manner when in Nov 2011 a civil servant reported the theft of 5 million baht from his Bangkok house while he was attending his daughter's wedding. He explained the stolen money was the dowry for his daughter.
