Police arrested a Burmese man for stealing a gold necklace worth 65,000 baht from a Thai woman in the northern province of Chiang Mai.

 

The 42 year old victim, surnamed Oil, filed a complaint at Mueang Chiang Mai Police Station on October 29, saying a man snatched a gold necklace she was wearing and fled at around 4am. The theft took place outside a construction equipment shop on Wiang Ping Road in the Mueang district.

 

Officers checked security cameras at the scene and nearby until they were able to identify the thief as a 20 year old Burmese man named Geum. Officers arrested him when he rode his motorcycle past a police checkpoint in the Chaing Doa district.

 

Geum explained that he worked as an entertainer at a host club in the Mueang Chaing Mai district but that he did not earn enough to cover his day-to-day expenses.

Maybe he should cut-back on hid daily expenses a tad?

A wave would be a cheaper ride to start with.

I imagine that he has just lost ALL his income or the venue is renegotiating a lower contract due to his risk factor

Strange time to be hanging around outside a construction equipment shop. Was she a night time 'entertainer' too? :whistling::unsure:
