Popular Post webfact Posted August 2, 2024 Popular Post Posted August 2, 2024 A Belgian man has been apprehended by Songkhla Provincial Immigration Police for stealing hotel key cards from Thai and Malaysian tourists, robbing them of 200,000 baht. The suspect, identified as 26-year-old Abdelali, was arrested at a hotel in Hat Yai district, Songkhla province, on August 1. Thai and Malaysian victims had previously reported the theft of their belongings to Khor Hong Police Station and Songkhla Provincial Immigration Police, prompting an investigation. Hotel workers had tipped off the authorities, suspecting Abdelali as the culprit. He checked into the hotel presenting only a digital copy of his passport, claiming his physical passport was lost. While workers were occupied with his booking, Abdelali managed to snatch spare key cards to the victims' rooms, making away with their valuables. Upon arrest, Abdelali initially denied all allegations. However, a search of his room revealed incriminating evidence: 52,000 baht in cash, five mobile phones, credit cards, two Malaysian bank debit cards, two luxury watches, and additional valuables, all totalling around 200,000 baht. Authorities used CCTV footage to track Abdelali after he swiftly left the hotel following the theft. He had relocated to another hotel in the same area. Further investigation revealed he had overstayed his visa by over three months. Police noted that Abdelali had a history of similar crimes across various tourist destinations in Thailand. In one case, he rented a motorcycle on Koh Lanta, Krabi province, which he later sold in Hat Yai. Currently, Abdelali faces charges for overstaying his visa. Officials have yet to press theft charges as they continue to investigate his involvement in other thefts. This incident is not isolated; in June, another foreigner was caught using a stolen key to stay in a hotel in Chon Buri. Despite the owner's attempts to remove the intruder, no police arrived, forcing the owner to handle the situation personally.

Middle Aged Grouch Posted August 2, 2024 Posted August 2, 2024 With all the thieves and crooks all over Thailand now, the hotels need to adapt and strengthen customer security in Thailand. Maybe a facial recon system on each door or fingerprint scanner ?...or any other method that will perhaps make it more difficult for all the scumbags to rob tourists in their hotels in Thailand ?
