Farang shoplifter steals 800 baht bottle of vodka from 7-Eleven in Lamphun

 

Picture: Manager Online

 

Manager reported that a police patrol was called to a 7-Eleven near the market in Lamphun around 3 am this morning after a "farang" stole a bottle of vodka.

 

Staff at the store said that two drunk foreign men had come into the store wanting to buy alcohol but had been told it was not possible as it was after hours. 

 

They left but one came back and while staff were distracted with stocking shelves went behind the counter and stole an 800 baht bottle of vodka. He was dressed in a green top with jeans.

 

Staff did not dare confront him as they feared he may have a weapon. 

 

Some 45 minutes the alleged thief was arrested wandering in the market area after a member of the public gave a police patrol a tip.

 

He went by the name of "Haring" and was aged 21 and appeared to be speaking something that sounded like Spanish. 

 

The man - who was not in possession of a passport - was taken to the police station.

 

His accomplice remained at large.

Got to admit, these booze selling hours have frustrated me in the past, luckily there was a little Thai shop around the corner that I could buy.

Yes, but it's illegal for 7-11 to sell booze at that time.

If you get like you want it was probably a Thai man. They already said that he sounded like Spanish. To close to home to accept that?

The staff of 7/11 has to work more than 2 days for 800 Baht. Compare it with this salary in your home country to find the worth of 800 Baht in Thailand. 

[Traubert]

Yeah farang let him off, give him the keys to the safe, trivial, blah blah blah, police brutality.....

 

The same thing was said about stolen 29,000baht drone the other day.

 

These farangs are just misunderstood, right?

At Thai passport office Pattaya today with the missus. Reached their qouta 250 by 10am. 3 farangs with babies. Am keeping an eye out where I walk now so pavement threat has diminshed. I have to say with all the serious news in the world today Thailand's small earrhquake in chile nobody killed approach to it can be somewhat refeshing.

Illegal for 7-Eleven, but no-one cares whether mom-and-pop stores do. TIT...

[Orton Rd]

I like Kulov Vodka it's only 399 for a litre and I don't have to steal it either, probably the best spirits made here, the rest in pretty awful including most of the so called brandy

The one whose face cannot be seen because it is obscured?

[Catoholic]

I'm wondering if the shop was out of 499 baht Gibley's? Or if this thief just had to have the Absolut?

Might as well be hung for a sheep as a lamb. Gilbey's really isn't very good IMHO.

I visited Mexico once.  My high school Spanish was rusty, so about every third word came out in Thai.  I got some puzzled looks.

[sammieuk1]

Maybe he was hard of "Haring" and couldn't understand or hear no booze time Mr ????

[steven100]

oh dear ....  robbing a 7-11 at 3 in the morning for booze ......    he doesn't paint a picture of scholarship boy for his proud mum ....more like jail
