'69 sighting' in Patong leads police to Iranian thieves

[sir charles IV]

Same difference!!!!

[sir charles IV]

Does that mean I should not invite my 8 year old's aboriginal friend over for her birthday party?

[Tchooptip]

Cut their hands off

Please respect the Qur'an many offences so their hands yes, but one foot too !

8 year olds dont skim ATMs or smuggle drugs.

make sure you hide the jerry can though

[Tchooptip]

I'm tired of all the arrests. Let me know when bad guys are sentenced to 10 years at the Phuket Hilton. Until then, everyone just pays their way out and sent on their way. I think every thief should have their hands bashed with a hammer. Thai or , you steal, no jail time...just hamburger hands for a while.

Particularly efficient with pickpockets

[sir charles IV]

Lol. I understand where ur're coming from. But they can steal cars.

Question is what percentage of tourists from a particular country are breaking the laws? Unless we know it and consider it is shown to be significant then it makes sense to ban them all even at the expense of the good ones.

[cookee68]

"Luckily, one eyewitness said he remembered their license plate to be “169”." Sure that wasn't I-69 (eye). They may well learn in prison whats that about.

But was it not a 163 that they were using

[sir charles IV]

Oh shoot my safe is open. 30k gone. Oh wait the gf just walked in. I doubt it's a fake Gucci bag from the markets.

[mok199]

cut thier hands off,,, just above the neck...

[kingalfred]

Another example of how lax the visa system is in Thailand. Iranians who know they would be hanged or limbs removed in their own country so get the easy pickings of Thailand

[ultimate weapon]

The picture is interesting. Iranians are Persians and they aren't Arabs. They aren't Asians. They are Aryan Whites.

What does this post have anything to do with this topic at all? When were iraninans even called asian? Besides disputing the geographical location of iran your post has 0 sense at all.

[ICECOOL]

Police searched Patong tirelessly on Christmas Eve and Chirstmas day for “69” but to no avail. Finally, on Boxing day, they found a Yamaha Nuvo with the plate numbers “163” parked at the Ban Ton Sai Bungalo and staked it out.

I guess 163 was close enough

[Time Traveller]

Whilst married to a Thai National and mainly living out of the country with my wife, this type of crime by this type of Farang, makes me not care how strict Thai Immigration are.

If they wish to make it more difficult with procedures for non-Thais to visit this country, I would welcome it.

Anything to keep scum of the like out, should be implemented.

You are an idiot.

How can immigration (besides from banning everyone) stop individual people from comitting crimes when they are in Thailand? The answer is they can not. Unless you think they have some magical future crimes unit that can forsee the destiny of every foreign visitor's life when in thailand.

20 million foreign visitors to thailand each year and maybe a couple of hundred of those commit crimes and your solution is make it more difficult for the law abiding 20 million?

Prevent them from coming by introducing very strict visa rules for them.

More filth. For every scum they catch there is still another 10 operating.

Why can't immigration racially profile these people? Every other aspect of thai society is racist so why not when it comes to immigration?

Serious question.

99% of Iranian arrested in Thailand are smuggling meth. This one is a bit odd. They are diversifying. Its truethey need to profile these sort of scum. Iranians going into any western country they would be given the 3rd degree. Either refugees, war criminals or smugglers. There arent that many Iranians that can afford to travel

. This case happened in Pattaya, drugged Hotel Employee, and pryed open security boxes, I wonder if this case is related, luckily another employee observed the crime and he was arrested, but why are these teams, doing the same thing, I think they can Thai this together, must be a Network of these guys, I believe a month ago this happened, Scumbags....

So, The selective memory by one robbery eye-witness, of the number “169”,
ultimately helped police track down ... a Yamaha Nuvo with the plate numbers “163”.

Lucky the witness didn't remember 163, otherwise the police would have tracked down
some guys with a Honda Dream with the number plate 169

Wait a minute here... The clue is a license plate with "69" on it. They find a bike that does NOT have "69" on it. They arrest the suspects, and a bit later have a confession. Did they also obtain DNA evidence? One hopes that the police didn't simply feel pressure to arrest someone, anyone, for these crimes.

Same thing apply for US.

I can understand your reaction, the truth hurts... I sympathize.

Foreigners nabbed for thefts
The Sunday Nation

PHUKET: -- Two foreigners have been arrested for alleged robberies worth about Bt1 million cash in various currencies from safe boxes at four Phuket hotels or guesthouses.

The accused men - Iranian Shahram Ghorbaniafshar, 48, and Frenchman Stephane Emery, 42 - were arrested at a bungalow in the Patong area on Friday along with some Bt800,000 cash in various currencies, a Rolex wristwatch and other valuables, as well as the clothes they wore on the day and some safe box-breaking tools. The duo reportedly confessed to the crime and were brought to Krathu Police Station where many persons identified them.

Following complaints of thefts in the Patong area on December 24-25, police followed up on clues gleaned from CCTV footage until they located the suspects' whereabouts and arrested them. The two also reportedly offered bribes to the police to prevent

their arrest.

So they finger them before photo op now? I bet the lady boys love that. But any who I think cutting off there hands wouldn't be tough enough Maybe turn them over to Koh Tao AC bar is more in line.

[Strangebrew]

Oh and how do you get 69 from 163? don't make sense.

[canuckamuck]

Clearly they are innocent. Not a sngle person is pointing at them. And they don't appear to be happy about being fingered Thai-style either.

Interesting to see that one is handcuffed by the right hand and one by the left.

Shouldn't it be right to right left to left?

Sure would make it hard to walk together.

More quality tourists for Thailand.

Good they caught them though.

[KamalaRider]

The picture is interesting. Iranians are Persians and they aren't Arabs. They aren't Asians. They are Aryan Whites.

You should take a closer look, they certainly look like persians, but mind you, not all of the people living in Iran are persians.

Don't say they are aryan whites, sounds too ignorant, please use caucasians instead, but they still don't look like caucasians.
