A Beach Road transvestite learned the hard way that if you're going to pick someone's pocket, it's probably best the victim is not a police officer.

Senior Sgt. Maj. Adirek Chamnanchan, head of Crime Suppression at the Pattaya Police Station, arrested 23-year-old Pongsathorn Joomsilp at a Second Road beer bar May 2 after detecting the ladyboy's hand in his pocket.

Pongsathorn confessed he needed cash to pay for several motorbike tickets but was unaware he was trying to take the money he owed police from the police.

Adirek said he stopped in the bar near Mike Shopping Mall to chat with a friend who had hailed him while he was on his way to work. At the time, he was carrying 1,400 baht in his pocket.

A new take on Robin Hood.
