BANGKOK, 5th November 2018 (NNT) – Two Chinese tourists have been arrested at Suvarnabhumi international airport as they were leaving Thailand with luggage stolen from other passengers. 

Suvarnabhumi airport police apprehended Li Tze Yueng, 35, and Lou Jieying, 22, at the airport on Saturday (November 3) as they were waiting for their flight to Hong Kong. 

Mr Li is a Canadian citizen of Chinese origin, while Ms Lou is a Chinese from mainland China. 

The arrest followed a complaint filed by an American with airport police. She said she could not find her travel bag after arriving in the Bangkok’s airport and waiting for the luggage at a conveyor belt for incoming passengers. 

Police checked CCTV footages at the baggage claim area and other locations inside Suvarnabhumi and found the two suspects loading a number of bags on their carts before leaving the airport. 

The owners of the luggage were contacted by police and they confirmed the bags found with the suspects were theirs, police added. 

Police also took them to a hotel in Ratchathewi area to search their room and found more bags stolen from a Thai tourist returning to Thailand from South Korea.

Yes it does, but you have never heard that they want more of those and even created a fast track line for them. 

[YetAnother]

these near comical photo ops are like much about thailand; all about show

[terminatorchiangmai]

No more bag stealing ?

Now they definitely not coming back any more.

[prakhonchai nick]

Hope someone taught them how to wai.

These Chinese were aware that other countries don’t use the system in their own thieving airports ! In many airport luggage collection bags are checked against the receipt you’re issued with !

Special fast track line is a nice way of saying, “special line so we stop getting complaints about the Chinese tourists”

[prakhonchai nick]

Apart from clothes and the like, what did they expect to find. Any traveller packing valuable items in their main luggage must be pretty stupid. Thats what carry on bags are for.

[roo860]

So the Chinese were leaving Thailand, and the police went to their hotel?

"...as they were leaving Thailand with luggage stolen from other passengers. "

 

Let me get this right - so they steal the bags in the arrival hall (how did they get in there?) and then go upstairs to departure where they check-in for a flight to HKG with all the stolen bags which presumably will make them over limit thus incurring excess bag fees. Hopefully the contents of the bags outweigh the cost of extra the extra bags. If not then these gentlemen need to rethink their business plan.

Good job police. By the way, I wore a badge once and criminals come in all shapes, colors, nationalities and intelligence.

[crazykopite]

Must be wrong Chinese people don’t do things like this they are quality tourists .☹️

I think they stole the bags on the way in. They were identified within 24 hours from CCTV footage and entry data. Then they were arrested on their way out, presumably several days later, as their passports were flagged. That is why there were more stolen bags found in downtown Bangkok.

Lee started his business here, immediately after arrival.

Yesterday there was a news that, a woman attacked a bus driver for not stopping, and the bus plunged into a river and all dead.

They need social education than productivity in better biological and materials.

Great job!

Some good news on this. I am a frequent traveller to West African countries. It is important you keep your boarding pass as the last security check done by a security guard is to check your luggage tags to your boarding pass as you go through the final exit door of the airport; simple nothing stolen.

Hopefully they also had 500 Baht too - from one of the stolen bags.

I'm thinking 'nope' . if there had been it'd be on TV and it isn't, or they weren't caught so how would we know.

What is 'a' Chinese ?? Chinese takeaway ??

[Henrik Andersen]

Sorry why call them tourists 

In my opinion they was on a stealing holiday so pure criminals 

[NCC1701A]

The suspects are sentenced to two years of picking up trash while being led around by a red flag. 

 

Next case.

A sensible and foolproof system, and therefore not for Thailand.

[Megascott]

I once caught Chinese tourists stealing my suitcase, thought nothing of out since they were elderly. You should always keep your bag receipt just incase and if You ever see people tearing the airline ticket off of the bags right away they should be suspect.

Deport the “Canadian” to China after he’s done his time.

The behavior of Chinese tourists is a problem wherever they go. Their government is aware of this and is setting up this system (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_Credit_System) It will take generations to educate people. Good luck to the Chinese government.
