An Indian man allegedly snatched a Thai woman’s iPhone in Krabi‘s resort town of Ao Nang earlier this week. According to Krabi Provincial Police, the suspect allegedly approached the woman at a restaurant to chat with her, before nabbing her iPhone 8 Plus.

 

The victim reported the incident to Ao Nang Police. Officers then used CCTV footage from the restaurant to hunt down the suspect before Krabi Provincial Court issued an arrest warrant for the man.

 

Law enforcement officers successfully apprehended the suspect with the iPhone, The Phuket Express reported.

 

Officers brought the suspect to the Ao Nang Police Station to face charges of theft during nighttime hours. Police did not disclose the names of either the suspect or the victim.

 

There have been a few widely publicised incidents of stolen mobile phones in Thailand this year.

Maybe he stole the phone to report his own theft ? As I have yet to hear about an emergency 'tailoring' issue
