Two Czech thieves detained in Thailand

Vienna/Bangkok – Two Czechs who stole 74 million crowns from a security agency’s van near Horice, east Bohemia, in January 2008 have been arrested in Thailand, the APA Austrian news agency reported today.

The Regional Court in Hradec Kralove, east Bohemia, issued an international warrant for their arrest last November.

The Austrian press writes that a liaison officer of the Austrian Criminal Office helped track them down in Thailand.

Both detainees are to be extradited to the Czech Republic.
