A 54-year-old Thai woman has been arrested in Pattaya for allegedly stealing an ATM card from a British expatriate and spending 40,000 baht. The arrest was made by Pattaya City police and Task Force 2 officers at a restaurant near Soi Jomtien 4.

 

The woman, named Kam, was apprehended following an arrest warrant from the Pattaya Provincial Court. The incident occurred on 2nd February, when the British man, referred to as Mr A, had invited Kam to his hotel room in Pattaya. The expat later found his Kasikorn Bank ATM card missing, along with withdrawals amounting to 40,000 baht.

 

Despite being limited by a foot infection, Mr A contacted local media to highlight his predicament. This led the Pattaya police to review CCTV footage, which helped them identify and locate Kam.

Upon being confronted, Kam admitted to using the stolen ATM card to fund a shopping spree. This is not her first offence, as she has been previously convicted of theft and gambling violations.

 

Now in custody, Kam is facing additional legal action as authorities focus on curbing repeat offenders who target unsuspecting tourists in the area, reported The Thaiger.

I suppose it was an excellent service by this tart. But obviously she was not happy with the meager salary.

Perhaps  Mr A gave her card and number expecting her to return? He was savvy enough to involve media to get police to do there job 🙄
