In a startling incident at Pattaya Beach, a local bar waitress lost her motorbike during a staff birthday celebration. Sumitra Saengarun, 25, discovered her black GPX motorcycle missing at approximately 5.06am yesterday, just steps from the Pattaya City Police Station.

 

The theft occurred outside the Red Cat Bar, where Sumitra and her colleagues had been celebrating after closing time. Admitting to being “slightly intoxicated”, Sumitra left the key in the ignition, a lapse she would soon regret.

 

After returning inside the bar to collect some leftover food, she was shocked to find her motorbike mysteriously gone. The audacious theft, occurring less than 50 metres from the police, has stirred concern amongst residents.

 

CCTV footage revealed a heavyset woman, dressed in black, nonchalantly riding off with the bike. The suspect is believed to be a former employee of the bar, previously dismissed for theft.

 

Sumitra immediately reported the incident to Police Lieutenant Colonel Phupha Hongyakul at Pattaya City Police Station. Officers have begun an investigation, using the clear CCTV footage to track down the offender and bring her to justice.

 

This brazen crime near the police station raises questions about local safety, particularly in the early hours. The community anxiously awaits developments as police work to resolve the case. Meanwhile, the incident serves as a stark reminder of the need for vigilance, even in familiar surroundings.
