This is the moment a brazen thief steals a bag at a market in Phuket.

 

Grainy footage shows thief, who appears to be of Western appearance, wearing a black hat and black black t-shirt.

 

He’s sat behind a table of four people who are eating. Placed on a stool next to them is the black bag the thief steals.

 

 

Throughout the 4 minute, 49 second clip, the thief can be seen acting suspiciously, appearing to speak on his phone as he waits for the moment he can steal the bag.

 

In the video, the man can be seen stealing the bag from around 4 minutes 25 seconds.

 

Once he steals the bag, the thief hides it under his jacket, stands up and brazenly walks away.

 

The incident, which took place at Bangla market in Patong, Phuket, was caught on CCTV, with the footage shared to a local Facebook group, along with an appeal for information as to the identity of the thief.

That guy needs free accomodation at the Bangkok Hilton.

Seems a bit expensive according to Trip Advisor.  The local jail would be much more appropriate compared to a 4 star hotel in BKK>

Most probably filmed by one of his mates who dropped him in it and thought it was funny.:cheesy:

The camera seemed focused that well on him, you might just be right.

CCTV playback its possible to zoom in and view the playback.
You can see the timers at the base of the screen.
Cellphone recording playback from a monitor.

wow.......sat there looking shifty for a long time.

 

once I thought he was going for it and both the girls looked around.

 

the actual execution of taking it was quite good in the end.

These 4 fellows could be enjoying their very first visit to this country and thought it is a very safe and peaceful Buddhist country.

If he was wearing an electronic wristband he'd be in custody now! :sorry:

If I owned that bag mine would be in it! ?

How much do you think he can get this way. Typical Thai lucky to have 1000b. Risk 5 years or deportation for a few thousand. Stupid man.

The kind of tourist that Thai immigration likes to have, it will have no problem getting a non-b visa: D

Surprised about the TG on the right, she certainly considered the farang to be a bit dodgy as she looked at him a couple times to check him out, if her suspicions were aroused you'd think she'd have moved that bag away....I certainly would have done so in that situation. Anyway, dumb bastard farang, as someone already said there's not likely to be much in the bag, a few hundred baht perhaps. He's risking all sorts of nasty things for a few hundred baht.
