British and Korean arrested by Pattaya police after attack and theft at prominent marijuana shop

[webfact]

 

Siam Rath reported that the Pattaya police chief Pol Col Thanapong Photi along with the provincial police and an international crime section arrested two foreigners in connection with an assault and theft from a marijuana shop at the resort at the weekend.

 

Arrested on charges of trespass and theft were Mr Markus, 47, a British national and Myoung, 52, a Korean.

 

It is alleged that on Saturday night at around 11.20 pm the pair went to the THC weed shop in Moo 9 on Sai 3.

 

Owner Parinya Pansing told the police that Namil Kim, a shareholder in the business, was attacked before his wallet containing 5,000 baht was stolen.

 

This was allegedly done by the Korean suspect.

 

Then the British man stole a safe containing 170,000 baht and the pair left.

 

All this was caught on CCTV leading to arrest warrants for the pair.

 

An Irish man called Mark, 53, has also been detained as it is believed he may also be involved in the crime in some way.

 

He is under investigation.

Wow what strange remark. SO if someone robs a bank its the bankrobbers fault. Nobody would blame the bank but now that a canabis shop is robbed  is the weed effect . I wonder why. Maybe a bit bias old peoples view of drugs.

They must have been under. The influence or desperate doing what they did especially with most places having CCTV

Will have plenty of time to reflect in jail

The Englishman must have been very strong to pick up and carry off a safe. If the safe was locked and there was no key with it, how did he think that he would open it?

As a general rule, people without brains don't do much thinking.

On the bright side,where he's going wont be needing money. More free sex than he could imagine.

Where does it mention they were high?

[Elkski]

Well in the bright side they didn't need to jump off the balcony.  They will get some free food and lodging.  Maybe they didn't expect the co-owner to be there and thought it would be easy free weed and they were surprised and all hell broke loose and then they beit figured 5k wasn't enough?   They should sure may have been high and desperate for more. 

Don't forget they do a facial recognition picture when you arrive and use china's ID software. 

 

[Regyai]

All a simple misunderstanding 

 

the little Irishman was just carrying out his duties at the end of a rainbow

[riclag]

Not much to go on as to the reason these people went there.

Is it possible they didnt get a good quality wacky weed batch from a prior sale and wanted a return on their purchase?
