Police hunt for foreign woman caught stealing on CCTV

Kritsada Mueanhawong

 

 

PHUKET:-- Police are hunting for a foreigner who stole merchandise from a souvenir shop in Patong last week. 

CCTV footage of the incident was shared on social media by Facebook user Wiyada Wittayatantithem on Sunday, with a caption that read: “Please beware of this foreign woman. She stole things from a store in Patong and then signaled to a foreign man who picked her up on a big bike, after which the pair escaped.” 

Santi Pruekprathin, the owner of ‘BJ Souvenir’ said the stolen merchandise was only worth 380 baht and he does not intend to file charges of theft, but wants this to serve as a warning to other businesses and the general public. The video was widely shared on social media.

The official version then is that it is foreigners who are giving Thailand a bad name  and not Thai's at all.  So come to Thailand but beware of foreigners (i.e. non-Thais)!

Total nonsense. Somebody shoplifted and was caught on camera so it is published. Doesn't really matter where she's from, except for in your mind.

BJ souvenier shop? What are they selling?

[Felt 35]

Stealing souvenirs.......must be a great holiday

[canuckamuck]

Also yesterday, 1000 other shopliftings occurred, all committed by locals, but none of these made the news. It's only interesting because it gives people another chance to be indignant about foreigners.

Her dress and shoes scream Russian.  Tons in Phuket right now and they are very loud even at 8am.

Their CCTV cameras work well - I wonder what happened to those cameras in Koh Tao, when their records were important

Thief.....Hope she gets caught!

[scotchonrocks]

It's always noted FOREIGNER OR FARANG. Thais never steal and never point the finger. Oh the Xenophobia! Reeks!

“Even though the owner is not pressing charges, we are investigating the incident and looking for the suspects. Such incidents give a bad reputation to Phuket, especially if foreigners are involved. We hope to apprehend them soon,” Maj Korapol added. 

these bloody farangs lol.....

Police in Thailand are very good at solving murders.

Imagine flying 10,000km just to get arrested for shoplifting £9.00 worth of gifts!! Hope they get caught n see what happened. Locals can do as they pleased in their country so all u guys who are making negative comments should shut it or go back home..555?

Last week?  She's long gone...just grabbing a few souvenir on the way to the Airport.

Another ageist young stud who thinks his generation invented sex. 50 years ago when I was 20 I knew what BJ stands for.

Perhaps they could re-deploy some of the 1000 police who are apparently no longer needed to arrest the errant abbot, seeing as this latest shop-lifting case is clearly so important.  Yes, it is theft and therefore a crime but it pales into insignificance compared with all the horrendous things that happen in Thailand every day of the week.  The police are so lucky that no shoplifter is ever found to be a Thai, as otherwise they might find their hands full and need everyone of those reluctant arresters outside the spaceship.

And yet the monk accused of embezzeling billions remains holed up in his Waco Spaceship, they know where he is, they know what he has done and every excuse possible to avoid taking any action.

If you watch the Thai TV news shows every morning, they show lots of CCTV clips of shoplifting, thefts etc. It's only made the English-language media and ThaiVisa because it's a foreigner.

Well it should matter to the police. I expect she will be passing through the airport soon when she has finished her souvenir and gift 'shopping'.
