Sattahip — On September 13th, a serial thief was arrested for robbing several local restaurants in Sattahip.

The suspect, identified as Mr. Charlie Rodmuang, 55, of Thai nationality, was arrested in Sattahip district, Chonburi province, today.

 

According to the police, Mr. Charlie was a serial thief who approached local restaurant owners in the district and deceived them with fake orders. He would target businesses where the owners were alone and pretended to have large orders for food.

 

Subsequently, the suspect would then drive the owners to the middle of a road on a motorbike, ask them to wait there, and claim that he was going to get his employer to meet them. Instead, however, he would drive back to the restaurant, steal the money and belongings, and then disappear.

Why would anyone fall for this even on the promise of a big order.  Mastermind Charlie doesn't look as if he has partaken of any food in the last month!
