YANGON, Myanmar (Reuters) -- A serial car thief who stole 11 vehicles in six months was after only the fuel, which is severely rationed in the military-run former Burma, a police source said on Tuesday.
Police caught Maung Myo Win red-handed last month as he was trying to climb into a minivan in downtown Yangon, the semi-official Myanmar-language Crime Journal reported.
