5 Vietnamese held for stealing

CHIANG MAI: Five Vietnamese nationals were arrested for stealing cash from crowded shops in popular tourist areas in Chiang Mai’s Muang district, provincial police chief Pol Maj-General Montri Sambunnanont said yesterday.

The gang - comprised of four men aged 18-44 and a 23-year-old woman - were presented to the press along with Bt3,530 remaining cash and nine cell phones. They had allegedly carried out similar crimes in Chiang Mai province twice before, police said.

Montri said the gang stole about Bt2,000 cash from a bag shop in the Chiang Mai Night Bazaar area and another Bt2,000 from a pillow case shop in Tha Phae Gate on December 31. Hunting for suspects according to damaged persons' descriptions, police spotted these suspects at the Pratu Chiang Mai area and stopped them for a check but they ran.

Police captured one 44-year-old suspect and with the information provided, arrested another four people at a hotel, Montri said. Police is now keeping an eye out for another Vietnamese accomplice.

Why go international? Vietnam has too little tourists?

[hgma]

Bags of shopkeepers on markets are targetted, gangs roam the market upfront and choose there targets, those who leave their bags out of site and can be distracted.

Then they move in, with several members involved and usual a female steals the loot while males sre to cover, or distract (noise-loud voices or even fights)

Only cctv can identify them.........as in this case.

Perhaps it is because the punishment is more severe in Vietnam than in Thailand. Especially where tourists are concerned. Unlike Thais the Vietnamese are dead set scared of laying a finger on foreigners for fear of the resultant penalty.

Surprise surpise! The Vietnamese stealing things?!!

After living there for several years I can say that I have never encountered another race that are such a bunch of theiving little sh*ts as the Vietnamese. Every last one of them.

Typical racist crap that I see over and over on this site. Yes there are some thieves in Vietnam, but overall they are as honest as anywhere else. This is like saying all Poms don't wash, all Aussies are drunken louts, all Yanks are loud and obnoxious, all Krauts have no sense of humour, or all Thais are brainless morons, good for a few, but generally bullsh*t. And yes I do live in Vietnam because I got sick of constantly having to watch my back in Thailand

Well apart from the Ala baba motorbike gang, saying that though I don't think they are actually Vietnamese, sounds like some middle eastern gang that operate around HCMC.

Leave the bit out about Poms, you're spot on with the rest!

How many months have you lived there?

Your time will come. When it does, think of me laughing at you.

On every group there's always some moral idiot who decides they're the fountain of truth - who lectures others.

How on earth can be it racist to complain about Vietnamese stealing from Thais, they're both Asian.

Sick of these people who cry Raaaacist! when people talk about their experiences.

I don't know if Dunks is wrong, but he lived there and so should have a pretty good idea.

I was in Vietnam and was surprised to find that when I went into a restaurant, I was asked to pay for things I hadn't ordered which magically appeared on the bill - something that's never happened in a Thai restaurant.

How long before some self-appointed moralist cries Raaaaaacist!

8 years now. Don't get me wrong, I've had things stolen, but not much. But I have always felt safe here, unlike in Thailand where I have been robbed at gunpoint in Bangkok and stabbed and left for dead with my wallet and phone taken in Phuket

[t8769]

I haven't had a single serious problem in Thailand in 30 years.

Unless I'm in the heavy tourist areas where I've just been short changed a few times, and which I generally avoid.

My comment had nothing to do with Vietnamese stealing from Thais. If you had bothered to read the comment that I was replying to, you would have seen " I have never encountered another race that are such a bunch of theiving little sh*ts as the Vietnamese". If they are guilty then <deleted> them, they deserve whatever punishment they receive.

So, not only are you a racist but you will laugh at people's misfortunes if they disagree with your opinions?

"Piece of work" was coined exactly for people like you.

"Racist" - the word used by idiots who can't put a reasonable argument together when they hear something they don't understand.

Yes, but he didn't meet, and I quote, " Every last one of them".

He probably only met the lowlives around seedy bars and brothels, where the crime rates are higher. ***
