Briton captures iPhone 10 thief on Samui

A Briton, 66, managed to overpower a young Thai man and put him in a headlock after the Thai allegedly stole an iPhone X from the Briton’s girlfriend on Koh Samui on Tuesday.

 

Pol Captain Boonnam Srinarat, deputy inspector of Borphut police station, said Sutthipong Chumket, 25, was captured by the Briton, who wanted to be identified only as John.

 

Sutthipong was found about 100 metres from a traditional massage parlour where he allegedly stole the smartphone from John's girlfriend, Pimphan Sathong, 29.

 

Pimphan said she was waiting for John at the massage parlour when Sutthipong came in to inquire about the service. She replied she was not a masseuse and she went inside the shop to call a masseuse for him.

 

The man later said he would leave for food and come back later. Five minutes later, Pimphan realised her iPhone X had been taken from the desk, so she alerted her boyfriend.

 

John then rode his motorcycle to look for the suspect and found him about 100 metres away.

 

John was cut with a knife on one of his hands while trying to capture the suspect. The Briton told police he would waive the physical assault charge out of sympathy for the suspect.

Is an iPhone worth someone’s life because silly John could have been fatally wounded and most of the iPhones that are owned by Thais are fakes

Poor fellow was only trying kill someone after the theft. I hope they will be gentle with him.

An I phone is not worth anybody's life. All the many Thais I know and who do own an I-phone, own the real thing. I don't know anybody who owns a fake one.

Only a head lock, lucky thief if it was someone more upset there would be teeth missing too, G/F or not less burglars the better

John is very lucky all the other Thais in the vicinity didn't join in and kick the daylights out of him and stomp his head. John is just a "guest" in their country and has no right whatsoever to show aggression towards any Thai.

 

Being in the "right" don't add up to a mound of @%$#! for a farang .
