Popular Post webfact Posted October 22, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 22, 2023 LOPBURI - Thai police, in a relentless overnight operation, captured a criminal who had robbed a British tourist, M. Pearson., 37, in Lopburi. The incident occurred on October 21st, when Pearson was confronted by a tall individual on a white motorcycle, reported Daily News. The assailant grabbed her blue shoulder bag, which contained an iPhone XS, 1,500 Baht in cash, and credit cards, before escaping near a railway line. Different police teams worked together in a careful search. The urgency of the operation was heightened by the victim's foreign nationality, prompting concerns over the potential repercussions for Thailand’s esteemed tourism industry. The suspect, a 26-year-old identified as Fluke, was apprehended in the Tale Chubsorn district, following the issuance of a court arrest warrant. The police's thorough investigation linked Fluke conclusively to the robbery. This swift and efficient action reaffirms the dedication of the Thai police to uphold the safety and security of both its citizens and international guests, ensuring Thailand remains a hospitable and secure destination for global travelers.

Steven Pattaya Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Yet the Thai police don't lift a finger for people being run down in the streets, including back alleys without sidewalks. They even said pedestrians have to pay for any damages to the cars that run them down! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drop the dead donkey Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 I think the only way he was caught, was by her phone still being on and she had the iPhone tracker ‘Where is my phone’ on and they found him. This was just a basic gps find. Not a relentless search by the police. Over glorification by the police and press has made this into another BS story. However, a good ending. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sambum Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 4 hours ago, Polaky said: Russian?, might have run out of funds to stay for 90 days. Why do you assume he was Russian? Could be a "Tall Thai" - after all the new PM is 192 cm tall (6ft 3 ins), or Dutch - they have the tallest people in the World? However, with a name like "Fluke" and the " "relentless overnight operation by the Thai police", one could assume that this is a staged incident designed to ensure that the "swift and efficient action reaffirms the dedication of the Thai police to uphold the safety and security of both its citizens and international guests, ensuring Thailand remains a hospitable and secure destination for global travelers." 🙂 Who writes this stuff?

Bundooman Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 The Thai police response this bag-snatching incident begs the questions: Where is the self-congratulatory photo of the entire force - all smiles and professional pride, happily handing over the bag, complete with contents, to the happy and grateful tourist? And why isn't there a picture of her, the victim, and another with the blurred photo of the thief? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
