Featured Replies

A foreign man was caught on CCTV stealing a mobile phone from a Thai worker at Utopia bar in Pattaya around 8pm on March 8. The victim, concerned about potential misuse of her personal data, has filed a complaint with the Mueang Pattaya Police Station, providing the footage as evidence. Authorities have not yet identified the suspect’s nationality.

In the video, the suspect appears in a black jacket, black cap, beige shorts, and white trainers. He approached the cashier counter to place an order, seizing the opportunity to swipe the phone when the worker was distracted. Despite attempts to locate the device using a remote tracking feature, the victim could not find the phone, as it consistently appeared offline.

The victim expressed her anxiety over the potential exposure of personal images and data stored on her mobile device. Her concerns extend to the possibility of her financial and social media details being exploited for fraudulent activities. She hopes the thief will come forward voluntarily and has called upon the internet community to help identify him.

Local authorities are analyzing the CCTV footage to pursue leads, and requests for public assistance have been issued. Security has been heightened in the area as officials ramp up investigative efforts, reported The Thaiger.

It's odd that he's wearing a jacket at this time of yer.

Likely hiding distinguishing marks on his arms which suggests intent.

how many more of these scum are we going to see before Thailand gets tough, what was his motive, my guess would be he has run out of money to support a 60 day stay and resorting to theft to get some cash
