KAMPHAENG PHET – A 29-year-old woman narrowly escaped a terrifying armed robbery and kidnapping in Kamphaeng Phet province. The frightening incident occurred on the quiet Khao Nang Thong-Sa Kaeo road. A dangerous man on a motorcycle cornered her while she was riding home from a long workday. He quickly pulled a knife to force her to stop and hand over her vehicle.
The violent attacker, later identified by police as 30-year-old Kwan, forcefully hijacked the young woman’s motorcycle. He aggressively ordered the victim, Khanoon, to turn off her mobile phone to prevent any rescue. Instead of obeying the criminal, she bravely faked putting her smartphone into a restrictive airplane mode. She then secretly dialed the 191 emergency line while pretending the phone was totally disabled.
Key Takeaways
- A young woman used a clever airplane mode trick to call 191 during a violent kidnapping.
- Police successfully arrested a 30-year-old serial offender linked to multiple violent crimes in the area.
- Officers highly praised the victim’s quick thinking for saving her life and catching the suspect.
When the armed suspect realized she had called the police, he immediately started to panic. He quickly forced the hijacked motorcycle off the road and into a thick sugarcane field. Fearing for her life, Khanoon bravely jumped off the moving motorcycle to save herself from harm. She ran as fast as she could and hid safely deep inside the tall grass.
From her secure hiding spot, she called 191 again to give her exact GPS location. Local police officers quickly rushed to the rural scene to rescue the terrified young woman. Following the clear clues, investigative teams from two local districts relentlessly hunted the fleeing suspect. They finally tracked Kwan down and successfully arrested him at a local hideout on September 7.
Uncovering a Violent Serial Offender
Investigating police quickly discovered that Kwan was actually a very dangerous and highly active serial offender. Just hours before his final arrest, he viciously attacked another local man in the area. He tied that victim to a wooden pillar in an abandoned house and stole his wallet. Furthermore, he was riding a stolen motorcycle taken from Surat Thani province on September 3.
Interestingly, this intense event was actually Khanoon’s second major trip to the local police station. She previously went viral online after a brutal call center scam completely emptied her bank account. During that older fraud case, the bold scammer famously mocked her directly over the phone. Her viral quote from that earlier incident made her a well-known figure on local social media.
Local police officers highly praised Khanoon for keeping her absolute cool under extreme and dangerous pressure. Her clear directions over the emergency phone line directly led to a very fast rescue. Authorities are now urgently asking any other potential victims of this violent man to step forward. You can easily contact the Phran Kratai police station at 055-741-662 to report any similar crimes.
