Feb 9, 2009, 2:24 GMT

Bangkok - Thai police arrested two Colombian nationals and have issued warrants for three more who allegedly formed a burglary gang that preyed on wealthy housing estates in and around Bangkok, media reports said Monday. Police arrested Alvaro Gomez Pederos, 33, Adelmo Garcia Ardiia, 40, and Ardiia's Thai wife Walaiporn Khana, 25, as chief suspects in a string of burglaries, said The Nation newspaper. They have also issued arrest warrants for Colombians Aerson Neo, Caolin Diyana and Thornet Anne. The gang reportedly preyed on well-to-do housing estates in Bangkok and neighbouring provinces, driving past security guards on the pretence of visiting Thai friends. 'Sometimes, security guards are lenient when seeing foreigners,' Metropolitan Police Commissioner Lieutenant-General Suchat Muankaew said. 'But now they had better be strict.'
