Tourist Robbed by Lady Boy

An 18 year old lady tourist from Surat Thani Province came to the Dongtan Sub-station on 11th May to inform the police that while she was walking on the beach by the Pattaya Park

Hotel she had left her handbag on her motorbike only 5 meters away from where she was when a lady boy and his friend stole it.

She gave the police a description of the two thieves and about 20 minutes after radioing this information out the police were informed that the suspects were found on Jomtien Beach so escorted them to the station for the victim to identify.

The police questioned the suspects who denied stealing anything. The police searched them to find nothing but a while later a female officer searched the lady boy’s bra and found the victim’s money inside the padding.

Unbelievable!!!!!.........One of the 'best' -fessing against another!

Why would a female officer have to search a lady BOY, couldn't the male officers do that?

er....No, a ladyboy officer would do that.

More importantly, why would anyone leave their bag on their motor and walk away? That is madness in any part of the world (Obviously excepting Saudi Arabia et al)

Sounds like a "sting" operation to me.
