A small-scale fisherman turned out to be a poor judge of character after his mutinous deckhand netted all the gear and jumped ship on Monday.

The worker called in his friends and together they stole the fishing gear and all personal items of value. Police caught two suspects, but are still looking for the third. KOH SANTEPHEAP
