Tourist police and Suvarnabhumi airport authorities announced the arrest of a 27 year old Thai woman who the media said took advantage of problems associated with the coronavirus situation to steal a German lady tourist's bag. 

 

Phiromya, 27, who 77kaoded called a tomboy, has admitted everything. Doing the pointing was airport deputy director Kittipong Kittikhajorn and a smiling Pol Col Surachat Suwannasri of the Region 3 tourist police. 

 

On Saturday, Sarah A., 28, from Germany had reported the theft of her bag that contained her passport, credit card, 250 Euros, driving licence, phone and notebook. 

 

She said that due to coronavirus screening she had arrived at the airport four hours early only to find out that her flight to Germany was also delayed.

She decided to have a sleep on the second floor near gate 4. When she awoke with a start her bag was gone. 

 

Police soon had a suspect who they recognised as a former airport employee. She had gone to the ground floor bus terminal to change her shirt in an effort to give the authorities the slip. 

 

However, next morning she was caught on the first floor near gate 8 with the tourist's possessions. She said that she knew she would be viewed on CCTV so she had gone to change her shirt. But it didn't work out. 

 

She was charged with theft at an airport at night.

Bad reporting, it should have been: "She was charged with theft at an airport, near gate 4, at night and changing shirt"

Perhaps if she'd been bright enough to leave the airport it might have worked out. Doh.

Glad to see they took all the necessary pointing precautions, can’t be too careful. Someone call Anutin now to check if the German women showered recently.

scum ... 

"Tom" or not is irrelevant.  Something of a lazy salute to prejudice.

Dirty Farang.

Theft at night at an airport. The crime is theft at night. The place is irrelevant to The crime.

As is the "perp" they are pointing at ????

Poor tomboy, if the German Sheila would not have been there then the whole incident would not have happened ???? 

If "theft at an airport at night" is the same category and punishment as "theft at an airport at day", I would advise the Thai authorities to combine the crime into a single  crime: "theft at an airport". They can make the form shorter and ease their paperwork.

I would bet that day theft is punished less than night theft......thats the way it usually works.

Someone please explain to me why the thief brought the stolen stuff back to the airport the next day?
