A robber, identified as a French tourist, 32 year old Martinez Joyce, was arrested in Ao Nang, Krabi, after stealing a purse containing 42,000 Baht cash inside.

 

Police received a report from 30 year old Assaman Yeesam on April 18 that he forgot his Balenciaga bag with 42,000 Baht cash in a coffee shop in Ao Nang where he was drinking earlier.

 

He called the shop but the staff said that a western man took it already, so he reported the police to search for the man. Police surveyed CCTV from around the scene of the crime.

A picture is worth a thousand words, assuming this is the culprit.

Yer... what an idiot... right?

 

he should have left the bag outside whilst having a coffee.

Maybe it was the price of the bag/? Don't know if this is a designerbrand but i've seen plenty men in thailand with very expensive purses...42000 baht wouldn't buy one.

A really bad situation for honest people who pay tax and work their assess off to feed their families.

If I had a bag containing 42,000B I would of been wearing it !

maybe if he spent less money on tatoos he might not have to steal as much

If they look a bit closer at the photo you can see that the guy in the red shirt looks to be taking a photo of the guy from the front.

Don't judge by the looks...of course...but sorry, even from behind, even if the photo is not of the suspect....he does look quite of a (quality tourist) crook....

He (and his barber) should be arrested for that haircut alone.  Looks like a tatooed pineapple that ran into a lawn mower.
