Fabricated robbery to escape violent partner leads to justice twist for Thai woman in Chon Buri

[snoop1130]

 

A Thai woman who fabricated a robbery in fear of her violent boyfriend has been charged with perverting the course of justice in Ban Bueng, Chon Buri province. The distressed woman, Thanpimon, falsely reported the robbery to local police that her purse and mobile phone had been snatched by two men on a motorcycle but later admitted to fabricating the story out of fear of her partner’s rebuke over a minor monetary issue.

 

Arriving on the scene, the Ban Bueng police investigation team found a very anxious Thanpimon. Hinting at the robbery that took place yesterday in Chon Buri, Thanpimon explained to the police that around 5.42pm, while she was coming back to her apartment from a convenience store, located on Nong Chak 2/5 street, her green handbag which contained 300 baht and her mobile phone valued at 5,900 baht was allegedly snatched by two culprits on a motorbike.

 

Investigators circled back to the spot of the fabricated robbery, expecting to discover some evidence from the closed-circuit television camera installed in the area. However, the camera footage failed to reflect the sequence reported by Thanpimon, leading the police to investigate further.

 

The investigation officer, Chalong Sak, called the 31 year old to double-check the accuracy of her initial statement, away from her anxious boyfriend. When asked again, Thanpimon insisted that her story was not fabricated and that her belongings were indeed stolen.

So they do work if any cop ever bothered to check!  Think of the number of speedsters/redlight runners the cops could nab with the added bonus of saving lives.
