One of the cannabis shop owners in Phuket, who fell victim to two foreign thieves, yesterday tracked down the suspects and physically assaulted them at their accommodation.

 

Several cannabis shop owners in Phuket reached out to other vendors to warn them after losing products to the two foreign thieves, whose identities remain undisclosed. CCTV footage from some of the ganja shops showed the thieves stealing entire jars of products from each shop.

 

The Phuket Times reported that more than 10 shops were robbed, with losses amounting to over 100,000 baht.

 

The latest update on the case, reported today, October 24, revealed that the two thieves are now in police custody. Their arrest was not due to a police investigation but rather the actions of one of the victims.

 

One victim disclosed to the media that he tracked the thieves on his own until he located their accommodation in the Chalong district of Phuket yesterday. He admitted that he was extremely angry and rushed to physically assault both of them.

 

The owner later called the police to the scene to arrest the suspects. Pictures shared in the media showed that a rescue team also attended the scene to provide first aid to the injured foreigners.

 

The shop owner told the media that he acknowledged that physically assaulting the thieves was wrong and illegal but felt compelled to do so because the case was being ignored by the police. He and other victims submitted all evidence to the police but the case made no progress.

 

The owner stated that the two thieves would have continued their criminal acts, leading to further losses if he did not intervene. The owner also shared the video of himself at the thieves’ accommodation with the media. He was heard saying…

 

“Hello! How are you? Okay? You f*cking bastard! You messed with the wrong man!”

 

The media reported that the foreign thieves are currently being held at Chalong Police Station. Any cannabis shop owners who have fallen victim to these thefts are now encouraged to report the matter to the police station.
