A Chinese man filed a fake theft complaint against a Thai motorbike taxi rider with the police in the Patong area of Phuket because he was angry over the fare he was charged by the rider.

 

The fake Chinese victim, 38 year old Xing Jingwei, asked a local in the area to report an opportunity snatching to Patong Police Station at about 1am today. The allegedly theft reportedly took place outside the Tanawan Hotel on Phra Metta Rad in Patong sub-district, Kathu district, Phuket.

 

Officers rushed to the scene and met Xing waiting there. Xing told police that he hired a taxi rider to take him to the scene but the rider snatched his bag containing 20,000 baht in cash before leaving.

 

The motorcycle rider was reported to be riding a dark blue and black Honda Wave motorcycle with a registration plate number 1 กย 8211 Nakhon si Thammarat.

 

Officers managed to track down and arrest the accused motorcycle taxi rider but the rider pleaded his innocence. He said they only engaged in a fare dispute before he left the scene.

I hope they arrest him, jail him, and then deport him. And make it all public.

Police questioned the Chinese tourist again until he confessed that he faked the theft story.

 

Idiot.
