Mueang Pattaya Police Station officers yesterday arrested a Thai transwoman for stealing a gold necklace worth about 300,000 baht from a Swiss man.

 

The Swiss victim, 60 year old Phillippe Bocion, reported to Mueang Pattaya Police Station officers at 1.30am on Saturday, January 20 that a Thai transwoman stole his gold necklace. Bocion said the transwoman approached and sexually harassed him by hugging him around the neck.

 

Bocion said he pushed her away and later discovered that his gold necklace, weighing about 151 grammes and worth about 300,000 baht, disappeared. He was certain the thief was the Thai transwoman who harassed him and sought help from officers.

 

Officers identified the thief as 28 year old Sunthorn Huajaiphet and arrested the woman in front of her condominium, Centric Sea Pattaya on Pattaya Sai Song Road, yesterday, January 21. Sunthorn admitted to the crime and confessed that she sold the stolen gold necklaces so she could buy many other gold accessories.

These necklace's are getting bigger ,just waiting for a 1 Kg one , maybe Mr.T.

A lot of the loss of these crimes could be solved if the pawn shop was made legally and financially responsible for clearing stolen items. It would be up to the shop to decide what measures they would take - holding payment for several days, requiring witnesses, other titles etc.. but at the moment seems like all these shops do is facilitate the crimes

 

That said I don't get the attraction with a big f' off gold necklaces, tacky as a Lacoste polo, or burberry man bag, they must get sold together in the knobhead starter kit..

Someone who walks around Pattaya with near 5oz of gold strung around their neck at 1.30am needs their head examining.

Had he been a member of this forum he would have known better...

Anyone wearing 5 ounces of gold around their neck is stupid.

Pattaya Transgender Woman Arrested for Stealing 300,000 Baht Gold Necklace from Swiss Tourist
By Tanakorn Panyadee

 

 

Pattaya —A Thai transgender woman was arrested on Sunday by Pattaya police after stealing a gold necklace worth more than 300,000 baht from a Swiss tourist.

The arrest came after Mr. Philippe Bocion, a 60-year-old tourist from Switzerland, reported the theft of his 10-baht-weight gold necklace, valued at over 332,000 baht, around 01:30 AM on January 20th, 2024.

 

According to his statement, Mr. Philippe was approached by the suspect, later identified as Sunthorn Huajaiphet, 28, while exploring Pattaya’s night scenes. The suspect attempted to hug and touch him, prompting him to lightly push her away. Upon later inspection however, Mr. Philippe discovered that his expensive gold necklace, which he had been wearing around his neck, had been stolen. Confident that the suspect who hugged him was the perpetrator, he promptly reported the incident to the Pattaya police and cooperated with their investigation.

 

Pattaya police, led by police chief Pol. Col. Navin Teerawit, immediately launched a serious investigation into the incident. On the following day, January 21st, authorities apprehended Sunthorn, the suspect, at the front of Centric Sea Condominium on Pattaya Second Road. Seized from her was one 2-baht-weight gold necklace worth 68,000 baht, three gold bracelets worth 68,000 baht, 34,000 baht, and 35,500 baht, and twenty 1,000-baht banknotes, totaling 20,000 baht.

a 10 baht necklace is like a ferry rope. And was he wearing it outside his shirt like the tossers do? Asking for trouble.

[loong]

This crime was apparently committed by a ladyboy?

Who is the person being pointed at in the picture?

Similar in London now, but the target is $10,000+ watches, like a Rolex! They have serial numbers etc, but there is still a market.

That's what you wake up with after they have taken off there wig, fake boobs, dress and the hangover is thumping in the morning

[AhFarangJa]

That is not a transgender woman, it is a man most likely dressed in women's clothes. Todays society has gone bonkers with the political correct agenda. In future I think I would like to identify as a lemon popsicle, or maybe a burrito......

Well, I was thinking similar EXCEPT it was 'what was shown to you by the police as a suspect'.... wouldn't recognize IT  from Adam!

No sympathy with anyone who wears that value

Usually only pimps wear such heavy gold chains...

Edited January 23 by BerndD

[nausea]

He/she should plead entrapment. I mean, wasn't the guy asking to be robbed.

[mancub]

Did they recover the 10 baht chain worth bt332.000 then ? 

Were the items seized from her (it) the proceeds of the night's work ?

Anyone else missing some "bling" . Ahmed ?
