CHONBURI — 2 June 2026, A 22-year-old woman became alarmed after one of her cats appeared terrified and was trembling with fear. When she reviewed CCTV footage to find out what had happened, she allegedly discovered that a man had climbed into her room while she was out grabbing food. She immediately reported the incident to police.
Pol. Lt. Col. Orawan Saengthong, an investigator at Nong Prue Police Station, received a complaint from the woman, identified only as Miss A, after CCTV footage allegedly captured a stranger entering her room at an apartment building in Nong Prue subdistrict, Bang Lamung district.
The suspect allegedly climbed a rear fire escape ladder, commonly known as a monkey ladder, to the fourth floor before entering Miss A’s room. CCTV footage showed him switching on a bathroom light and walking around inside before the recording was interrupted.
Miss A said she lives on the fourth floor of the apartment with her two cats. Before the incident, she briefly went downstairs to grab food. When she returned, she noticed that one of her cats was acting strangely and hiding in the narrow space beside the bed. When she picked him up, the cat was trembling and appeared severely frightened, prompting her to suspect that something had happened while she was out.
She also found that the CCTV camera had been knocked onto the floor and unplugged. When she checked the footage, she discovered that a man had entered her room through a window at about 18:55 while she was out of the room.
After reviewing the footage, Miss A said she immediately checked her belongings and found that nothing appeared to be missing. She provided the CCTV footage to police as evidence and said she had never met or known the man seen in the video.
She said she did not believe the man entered the room to steal property and feared he may have intended to harm her. She added that she was fortunate not to have been in the room at the time.
Miss A said she had decided to move out of the apartment immediately due to safety concerns. She also urged police to track down the suspect and bring him to justice.
