Police arrested a Russian woman in Phuket after breaking into a local’s house and stealing a scout uniform before leaving.

 

The homeowner took to social media to share details of the unusual theft with his followers. He posted a picture of a leopard-print shirt along with a caption that read…

 

“Beware of a Russian woman walking around in a scout uniform, as she is believed to be high on drugs. She broke into my house, searched my wardrobe, and left with the uniform. I think she is heading towards the Bang Tao area. She left her leopard-print shirt at my house. #ScoutUniform. The name on the uniform read Haris Modemai.”

 

The Phuket Times reported the story today, February 7. In the images shared by the media, the Russian woman has been arrested and taken to Cherng Talay Police Station for questioning.

 

Police were seen putting handcuffs on her while standing outside the station. No further details on the case were disclosed, and it was not confirmed whether the Russian woman was under the influence of drugs.

 

 

Thai netizens flooded the comments section with humorous remarks.

 

“She wanted to go to camp but ended up in jail.”

 

“I just read about a foreign motorcyclist exposing himself while riding, and now this…”

 

“Funny news reported every day.”

 

“I can’t imagine what foreigners in Phuket will do next.”

 

The legal consequences faced by the woman were not specified in the report. However, she may have been charged under Section 334 of the Criminal Law for theft, which carries a penalty of up to three years in prison and a fine of up to 60,000 baht.

Seems like a reasonable swap.  Leopard print-print shirt for a worn out scout uniform.

Would have been more interesting if she was apprehended at 7 Eleven trying to buy sticks and marshmallows.
