[Humphrey Bear]

Thieves Clean out Foreigners House.

At around 9:00pm on Monday night police from Pattaya station were summoned to a house in Suksabai Villa, located near the Land Office, to investigate reports of a robbery. On arrival they found the house of 60-year-old American national Mr Wayne Edmisten had been broken into and ransacked. Mr Edmisten was not home at the time of the robbery, which had been witnessed by one of his neighbours. The neighbour had called security guards but by the time they had responded the thieves had made themselves scarce.

Police also believe computer and electrical equipment had also been stolen. The house was dusted for fingerprints but have little else to go on.
