A Thai woman is facing charges after faking a theft and filing a fake police report to escape a 48,000 baht debt.

 

The 45 year old woman, whose identity remains undisclosed, made the complaint to officers at Mueang Trat Police Station by phone yesterday, October 18. She explained that four thieves in a pickup with no number plate cut off her pickup on Baan Kaeng Prai Road in the eastern province of Trat.

 

The woman said two thieves got out of the pickup and threatened her to hand over her money. She told police that she had to give it to them because she was alone at the time and was afraid the gang would attack her. The Thai woman said handed over 48,000 baht to the thieves.

 

The woman said she could remember the identities of all four thieves. She told police about the thieves’ height, hairstyle and build. She also reported that the thieves fled the scene and went to Khao Saming district in Trat province.

 

Police said it was strange that the woman, who had undergone such a harrowing ordeal while travelling alone, was able to remember many details.

Bang her up, she robbed 16 clients of their deposit. My guess a gambler.
