Belgian Tourist Hospitalised After Pattaya Bag Theft

A Belgian woman was injured after a motorcyclist allegedly grabbed her bag while she was travelling through Soi Na Kluea 12 in Pattaya on May 15. The 59-year-old victim fell onto the road during the incident and was taken to hospital by people at the scene. Her missing belongings reportedly included 550 euros in cash, credit cards and identification documents. Police used CCTV footage and currency exchange records to track down a 33-year-old Thai suspect, who was arrested later that night at a restaurant. Officers recovered some of the victim’s belongings and cash, while the suspect also faces a narcotics possession charge after crystal methamphetamine was allegedly found with him.
