The investigation resulted in the arrest of two men, Nathapong and Arthit, aged 30. Authorities confiscated 111 crypto-mining machines, seven desktop computers, 10 routers, and 10 modified power meters. The arrests were made after informants tipped off the police about deserted buildings outfitted with surveillance cameras, raising suspicions of illegal activities. A Crime Suppression Division commander, Pol Maj Gen Montri Theskhan, revealed that Nathapong rented the commercial properties and owned the houses where the illicit operations occurred. Investigators noted significant financial transactions of more than 40 million baht from January of the previous year to July, coupled with unusually low electricity bills, hinting at meter tampering.

According to officials, the stolen electricity was valued at approximately 10 million baht ($287,191), highlighting the magnitude of the theft. During questioning, Nathapong reportedly admitted to starting the mining operation in late 2022, acquiring secondhand mining equipment to further his illicit venture .

They discovered 109 active crypto-mining machines and an additional 66 units awaiting installation. The total value of the equipment was estimated at 17 million baht ($488,225). The raid followed suspiciously high power consumption reports from an otherwise unused warehouse. Electricity officials traced the power theft back to the site, estimating the cost of stolen electricity at over 10 million baht in recent months.
