Chinese woman arrested for theft at Suvarnabhumi 

By The Nation

 

 

A Chinese passenger was arrested early Tuesday for hanging on to a bag containing cash and a mobile phone that had been dropped by an Iranian passenger, police said.

 

Liu Wen Juan (not official spelling), 46, was arrested at 1.30am by police and airport security officials while waiting to board a plane. 

 

Police found a belt bag with US$1,4441 and a mobile phone in her hand luggage. 

 

The arrest was made after Mohammad Ambas Humse (not official spelling), 29, an Iranian tourist, filed a report with the Suvarnabhumi Airport police station late Monday night that he had lost his belt bag while walking upstairs to the departure lounge on the fourth floor.

 

Airport security officials checked close circuit cameras and saw that the bag had indeed fallen to the floor where it was picked up by a Chinese woman. 

 

The Chinese passenger told police via an interpreter that she did not steal it but she found it on the floor without knowing its owner so she just picked it up.

 

She was charged with theft and taken to the airport police station for further action.

Another great story in the Chinese social media. Pretty sure it will boost tourism even 10% higher than TAT was dreaming.

No it an offence called stealing by finding.She should have handed it in to an official person. Now doubt she will be barred from Thailand for her dishonesty. I don't think the Chinese governments will look on it likely as she has brought disgrace to the country.
