2 foreign men caught stealing 1,500 baht cannabis in Pattaya

[webfact]

The owner of a cannabis shop in Pattaya yesterday filed a complaint against two foreign men who stole 1,500 baht worth of ganja from her shop.

 

The Thai shop owner, 48 year old Sakun, told Mueang Pattaya Police Station officers yesterday, February 13, that her cannabis outlet is located in Soi Pattaya Klang 12, and she was in the shop with her son when the theft took place. Sakun said the thieves were foreigners but she could not identify their nationalities.

 

Sakun explained that two foreign men entered the shop together. One of them stood at the front of the counter and pretended to select each type of cannabis. Another foreign man approached Sakun and asked her about the details of each product.

 

One of the foreign thieves told Sakun that he had a US$100 banknote and would return to the shop after exchanging the money. Then, the man walked out of the cannabis shop. Another foreign man browsed the products for a while before leaving without buying anything.

Do you address a person leaving a bar with a open tab, also a 'drug user' on news events?

Yes, Alcohol is a kind of drug with its own form of addiction, but here i was referring more to the op and the possible reasons

I wonder why it is that whenever there is a criticism/comment about cannabis use, the old diversion of alcohol usually appears.

Are cannabis users ex-alcoholics?

Stupid is as stupid does. I guess these guys just do not want to pay to be stupid.

Very common distraction tactic but usually for expensive jewelry or other items rather than 1500 baht worth of ganja.

He'd be found quicker if his face wasn't blurred out in the still from the CCTV.

Seriously. 

 

That's just a couple of fatties.

It wasn't that expensive when it was illegal.

1,500 would be a good price for an oz

Weed tracker Thailand. Com. Shows average price 800 per gram. 555. A 100 Bhat is more than enough. Fools rush in.

Don't blow it if you can't grow it.

Poorer security than the 7-11, and more liberal timings when it comes to getting a beer.

He'd be found quicker if Pattaya Plod wasn't on the case.
