The station chief said he will wait for a psychiatrist to evaluate the suspect before deciding whether she is mentally fit to stand trial.
Apart from stealing the car, Nattakan faces charges of property damage and assault. Prasopchoke said a security guard at the shopping mall injured his hand while trying to stop the car from being driven away, while the mall’s barriers were damaged. The guard said he heard a woman yelling that her car had been stolen, so he tried to block the carpark exit with a road barrier, but the car crashed through, knocking off the front bumper.
Nattakan also smashed into another car that was trying to block her way, while a policeman suffered slight injuries when he caught up with the suspect at a petrol station, but she fought him off and managed to escape.
Morty’s owner, meanwhile, said she is happy and relieved that her beloved cat is fine. The wise feline had taken refuge under a seat during the car chase.
