Mansell Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Pretty dumb guy.....tattoos on his arms he doesnt cover up, smashed one CCTV camera in the store, but the other ones got his face. Was in the store 30 mins trying to break open the safe in full view of cameras. Then walked back to his hotel in full view of many CCTV cameras. The police must have been laughing at another really stupid farang. I guess they don't have CCTV in Russia. Enjoy the Thai prison while your wife heads back to Mother Russia.
