Eventually Mr. Hussein was stopped and detained until Police arrived. He was holding 30,000 Baht in cash and inside his pocket was a 100 US Dollar bill. Mr. Kodavalaru claimed Mr. Hussein approached him and was holding the US Dollar Bill and asked if he would change it for Thai Currency.

Mr. Hussein reportedly asked if he could see some Thai currency as he was new to Thailand and had never seen a 500 Baht bill. Mr. Kodavalaru took out his wallet which was full of Thai currency and in a split second Mr. Hussein is accused of snatching the wallet and attempting to make-good his escape.
