Second time around for Pattaya Taxi thief suspect caught by Bangkok Police

PATTAYA:--For the second time in his life, a man has been arrested for stealing a Bangkok Taxi.

Police Colonel Tamanoon, the Pattaya Police Chief, announced the arrest of Khun Tongchai aged 26 on Tuesday. He is accused of stealing the taxi which belonged to Khun Pira aged 52. He explained that the suspect had rented the taxi from Bang Yai District in Nontaburi Province on the border of Bangkok with the intention of travelling to the Pattaya Remand Prison to visit a friend incarcerated there.

A return fare of 2,200 Baht was agreed upon and the first half of the journey was completed without incident. The Taxi then left the Prison with the suspect and the driver was asked to stop at the Potisan Market in North Pattaya. The driver was asked to deliver some papers to someone at the market and when he left his vehicle, the suspect jumped in the front seat and drove off.

He was eventually arrested by Police in Minburi, a small District in Bangkok and returned to Pattaya Police who then processed the case. The suspect had previously stolen a Bangkok Taxi and had been released from Prison only a few months before where he served time for the offence.

Taxi hijacked in Pattaya

By Staff Reporter

PATTAYA: -- To start a taxi business can be expensive, unless you decide to steal one, which is exactly what a 26 year old Thai man did this week in Pattaya.

His trick? He hired a taxi to take him to visit friends in Prison, and then to stop off at the market in Naklua.

All quite normal, and a price was agreed of 2,200 baht in advance.

When they reached the market, the passenger asked the driver to hand a document to one of the women working on the market.
