At approximately 05:05 on 22 January, Mr. Mustafa, a 52-year-old Turkish national, reported a theft to police at the Pattaya City Police Station. The victim claimed that his wallet, containing 500 Euros and 1,500 US Dollars, worth approximately 70000 Thai Baht, was stolen while he was standing in front of a hotel on Central Pattaya Road.

 

Mr. Mustafa told officers that as he stood outside the hotel, a woman, who later turned out to be a transgender individual, approached him on a motorbike. She greeted him warmly and offered sexual services before embracing and touching him inappropriately. 

 

Mr. Mustafa attempted to push them away, but shortly after, the individual got back on the motorbike and sped off. It was only when he checked his belongings that he realised his wallet had been stolen.

 

Promptly, Mr. Mustafa reported the incident to the authorities. Lieutenant Colonel Phupha Hongyakul, the investigating officer, informed his superior, Police Colonel Navin Theerawit, Chief of Pattaya Police, and initiated an investigation. 

 

The police have since reviewed CCTV footage and gathered information from witnesses in an effort to track down the thief and bring them to justice.

Chances are the transgender will not be a first offender.  If apprehended the cash will be long gone and a small fine for the thief.

That's 70 x 1000bt bills ( a guess - maybe 140 x 500bt bills...or......)

 

Who carries that amount of money walking around - and a person on a motor bike just pulls up to a RANDOM person .......

 

Interesting......
