PHUKET: Police are hunting for two suspects who stole six lobsters from a renowned seafood restaurant in Chalong before dawn today (Feb 3).

 

Today (Feb 3), Capt Somkiet Sarasin of Chalong Police was informed by personnel of a well know local seafood restaurant that six Painted Spiny Lobsters disappeared from a tank while the venue was closed.

 

According to the restaurant's chef, there were seven lobsters in the tank last night but only one was left this morning. The lock on the tank's cover was broken.

From the full story, they broke in wearing masks, but the cops have clear pictures of the two men, and the lobsters were worth 5,000 Baht each minimum?

Smells a bit fishy to me. Good luck to them with the insurance claim!

Oh! And Bon Appetit to the thieves, who clearly have taste, if not finance.

One was wearing a cap, masks are not mentioned.

“We checked CCTV records and found that two men climbed over the wall and got into the venue at 4.11 am. One of the suspects was wearing a black cap and a dark shirt. Another one was wearing a jacket, a white cap and a mask. They broke the lock, fished out six lobsters, put them in a bag and escaped from the restaurant in the same manner they got in,” Capt Somkiet said.

I stand corrected.

How heartless of those thieves. The one that got left behind is going to need therapy now.

 

Stupid move, painted cray's are absolute way overpriced garbage.

Why leave 1 ?? Can't be because it was undersized surely :)

Because every Thai soap opera depicts stealing by leaving some behind so the victim questions whether a theft actually took place.

Same when you have katoy over.
