Busted! Canadian woman stole a bag at Suvarnabhumi carousel

 

Picture: Sanook

 

Tourist police at Bangkok's main airport have announced the arrest of a 47 year old Canadian woman for theft of a bag.

 

They didn't have to go in search of the woman - she came back to them. 

 

A warrant for theft or receiving stolen goods at an airport had been issued by the Samut Prakarn court on September 4th. 

 

This followed a report from a passenger of the theft of a whole bag at a carousel on August 27th. 

 

The police found out who the thief was, her travel plans and waited. 

 

On Friday she turned up to check-in for a flight to the UAE and was promptly arrested and charged with theft from an airport or receiving stolen goods. 

 

She reportedly admitted the theft and said this was her first time.

  .  waited until all the other bags had been collected, nobody else apparently waiting for baggage.

No a particularly brainy woman to commit crime of all places to do in an airport... where hundreds surveillance cameras are on you...

Times are apparently tough for Canadian tourists and expats these days. ????  Trudeau has dragged their dollar value down, and the Thai economy has boosted the baht

cheeky buggers.....

Crazy, she had no idea what was inside. It could have contained some sort of contraband substance. 

 

 

 

 

Where is the full face picture of her like from all the other suspected criminals?

I'm not believing this story until I see some RTP pointing ….  

She may have smelled maple syrup in the bag and simply couldn't resist.

on another note, I travelled China, where security waits at baggage carousel  You must produce your baggage tag , which is checked , to exit the area.

 

she doesn't nee any help with that!

Must have been why she had such a good holiday, once she'd sold all the drugs.

Some people who are running drugs panic at the last moment and leave their contraband on the belt.

She could have really come unstuck had that been the case, who would believe her if she had said

"sorry I was only trying to steal the case"

No mention of her male accomplice.

 2 things I do not understand

 

1 where was the actual owner?

 

2. There is another guy with her why was he not charged also

 

3. I guess customs did not check the bags.

 

China is not the only country to ask for your slip pakistan used to do it also

 

My bags would keep a thief in tea bags and gravy for a couple of months and that's about it

That's 3 things unless its ask 2 get one free day???? 

Yeah <deleted> ? 

The man is the one that actually looked at the bag and removed it from the carousel. He isn't even mentioned.

Looking at the video, he looks at the bag. takes it off the carsouel, sits it on it's wheels and says something to the woman who then grabs the handle and starts away with it. Even a halfway decent lawyer could have argued that he told her it was his and got her to take it.

 

She could argue that if he hadn't done that, she would have just left it there.

Makes you wonder why they make no mention of the guy at all.

Still waiting in the immigration queue.

Happened to me @ Don Meuang few years ago. Buggered if i could find my distinctive bag...black of course.

Had been removed & stockpiled with a bunch of others.

If I wasn't so knackered & bothered I might have panicked or something.

Too logical and easy for Thailand. They used to do it in the USA too. I don't know if they still do as I haven't been back since 2002, after being appalled at the brainwashing that was taking place a year after 9/11. Plus being fed-up with stuff like taking two hours to get through immigration and missing connecting flights because their computer system was down - twice - and an x-ray machine that couldn't tell the difference between explosives and the silver paper on a pack of mints in my pocket, and .......

What would they do with my 4 smelly shirts, 2 smelly T shirts and a few pairs of skiddies? Nothing of value goes in the checked in bag.

OK I might miss the Levis but that's about it.

This story doesn't make sense at all.

Very few airports actually check your baggage against your checked in baggage receipt or even name.  LAX for a little while many years ago used to have a person standing there and looking at tags.  Have not seen it in a long long time in just about every USA airport I have traveled through.  Going through customs though, I would have thought they might check the bags, but if one is waived through and not inspected, I guess they would not

Canadians are said to be the moral compass, what got into this one? At an airport of all places? hmm????

yeah she's a real winner nothing says success like a fifty cent t shirt with "beef burritos" written on it as your travel suit.

this really sucks. its one of the reasons why everyone rushes off the plane when it lands.

 

they want to get their luggage before its stolen just sitting on the carousel!

I think you have a good idea here for a sting operation!  If nothing else just put some spy camera, microphone, GPS device in a suitcase, put it on the carousel and sit back and see what takes the bait!  And if mean, do put something illegal in there!
