British Man Beats Up and Robs Bar Girl

The Pattaya Police were informed on 5th May that a foreigner had beaten up a Thai bar girl. The man fled but was captured in Soi Yamoto off Beach Road.

At the scene the police found British national, Benjamin Gardner, aged 27, from Newport, being detained by residents and the victim Miss Ratchanee Wansoo, a staff member at the Tim Beer Bar. All were escorted to the police station together with the evidence that the man stole from the woman.

Miss Ratchanee, who was only wearing a towel, had many bruises and marks on her body. She stated that earlier that night she met this man on Walking Street when she was going to work with her friend. He offered her 500 Baht so she agreed and left her friend to go with him to PS Hotel, Soi Yamoto.

However, things got very nasty in the room as immediately he attacked and hit her across the face and then attempted to strangle the woman. Realizing she was in danger she pretended to pass out. He took off her gold bracelet and stole her wallet from her handbag. When he left the room she screamed for help and local people in the area soon caught up with the foreigner and detained him.

Gardner explained to the police through a translator that he confessed to beating up the woman and stealing from her. He did it because he didn’t have any money.

However, the statement proved false as police found more than ten thousand Baht on him. Further, his passport did not have a Thai entry stamp from Immigration. Gardner stated that he lost his original passport so recently got this new one at the British embassy in Bangkok.

The Pattaya Police detained Gardner and is now cooperating with the Immigration Department and Tourist Police to search for this man’s records.

Gutless prick.

[Briggsy]

How weird. I'd speculate drugs play a part in this story. And can we believe the police here? It all sounds like there's a lot more behind this story.

English Man Wanted in UK arrested after he steals gold and money from Bar Girl.

At 9.30pm on Friday, a call was received by Police Lieutenant Colonel Sirichai from Pattaya Police Station from Khun Rachanee aged 33 who informed Police that a foreign man, who she had met on the Walking Street, had just stolen her gold bracelet and some money from a Hotel room near the Street where the pair had gone to engage in sexual activities.

Police arrived and arrested Mr. Benjamin Gardner aged 27 from England. He was caught in a nearby public toilet where he was attempting to hide from Police. Upon his arrest he informed Police that he had placed the bracelet and the victim’s purse in a small hole in the roof of the Toilet Block. The suspected thief along with the victim who was only wearing a towel, were taken to Pattaya Police Station.

Mr. Gardner confirmed that he resides at the Niran Grand Condo in Soi Arunothai, Central Pattaya with his pregnant girlfriend. He has been traveling around Asia and has now run out of money and decided to steal the bracelet along with 500 Baht in cash from Khun Rachanee to begin to replenish his funds.

Mr. Gardner who possessed a passport valid for only 1 year confessed to officers that he is on the run from authorities in UK and is wanted on a number of charges including assault, robbery and failing to appear in Court. He has been replacing his passport on a number of occasions to avoid detection by the UK authorities.

Mr. Gardner is now on remand awaiting a court appearance and the UK Embassy in Bangkok are also involved in the case. For now he will face charges of theft and visa irregularities here in Thailand with the possibility of facing deportation because of outstanding arrest warrants in UK.

leave him in jail for 10 years, then send him back to blighty, with a never to return to LOS label.Probably never to be allowed out of blighty would be good

Has anyone given any thought to what will happen to his pregnant girlfriend and the baby? poor woman to be involved with pond life like that.

[glenbat]

His girlfriend cant be the sharpest knife in the drawer to get involved with a pathetic, spineless failure like him in the first place

Loser

If serton law's were actully enforced this would never have happened! Why was the girl breaking the law in the first place? Do two wrongs make a right?

By the way i don't agree with sick behaviour, i just think pattaya has brought this type of scum apon its self.
