This is the dramatic moment armed police raided the home of a 'Bonnie and Clyde' couple suspected of stealing from more than 30 victims in Thailand.

Officers cornered the pair in an apartment in the Bang Pa-in District of Ayutthaya province on September 6 after a recent string of thefts had been reported by residents.

Footage shows law enforcers with automatic weapons besieging the hideout as they urged the couple to surrender, before filing into the building to confront them.

State media reported that the suspects allegedly tried to hide in a small space beneath the roof but were eventually discovered and cuffed.

Police have identified the two as Supot Buton, 42, and his girlfriend Orapin Jarassaengruangsil, 27, who had been living together for just over a year.

They were accused of robbery, with officers finding some cash, gold bars, two cars, two motorcycles, and amulets in their rented home. The ruthless lovers even made off with household products like lotion, underwear, cookware, disposable masks, and a water pump.

Supot allegedly confessed to multiple burglaries. He said: 'The money was for daily expenses and entertainment. We sold the gold for more money and the other stuff was for daily use.

'Wheneve we ran out of cash, we would resume going out at night to steal.'

Meanwhile, his girlfriend Orapin defended herself, saying she had not intended to lead a life of crime.

She said: 'I didn't plan to do this. I tagged along with my boyfriend because I suspected he was seeing someone else, but I was concerned he'd get caught, so I helped.'

An elderly woman Worawon, 75, said the pair had broken into her property by using steel cutters while no one was at home. They then took her granddaughters' piggy banks with some 30,000 THB cash inside, as well as a safe and some amulets.

Another victim, a factory worker Nirand Buaurai, 31, said he had come home to his dormitory room ransacked, with his belongings - including gold jewellery and his car keys - already gone. Supot and Orapin allegedly used his pickup truck to roam around the city looking for more citizens to prey on.

Upon learning of the arrest, some 20 people claiming to be theft victims flocked to the police station to see if their items were among the goods confiscated.

Police Lieutenant Colonel Panya Amatsena, Deputy Inspector of Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya Provincial Police Station, said: ‘This is not Supot's first time embarking on a burglary excursion. He had been arrested and sent to prison back in 2016 under a similar charge.'
