Phuket expat calls for help to curtail Rawai petty crime spree 

The Phuket News

 

 

PHUKET: An expat in Rawai is appealing to the public for help in apprehending a thief who broke into his home and stole B3,000 while his wife and 6-month-old baby were still sleeping in the bedroom.

 

The expat, who asked to be identified only as Felix, reported the break-in to the police, who he says have yet to make any progress in the case.

 

Felix was still sitting at the computer late when the thief broke into the home in Soi Sylvia, in Samakee 2, Rawai, at about 2am, Wednesday (Feb 15).

“Of course, I’m very concerned about my family’s safety now,” he told The Phuket News.

 

“In the five years that I have lived here there has not been one single incident in the whole neighbourhood, and now in a few months there have been multiple incidents,” he said.

 

“Two months ago the police arrested somebody who stole a wheel from one of our motorbikes parked outside, so I feel like there is something going on that needs to get brought to attention,” he added.

 

The break-in on Wednesday was caught on CCTV at the home, which is activated and records by motion detection. The footage shows a young man wearing a white T-shirt and wearing glasses pulling up outside the home on a motorbike and entering the home by climbing over the gate.

 

“In the house were my two dogs. The dogs heard him pretty soon and started barking, so he escaped soon after. Basically it’s safe to say the dogs saved us,” Felix said.

 

“When I ran outside he was just escaping with his motorbike, which was a red Honda Click,” he added.

Set fishing line traps.
Harmless but very good. Google it as its probably illegal to post details.

Secure your house correctly .Trusting the normal security here is just plain ignorance.

When tourism money goes down the crime goes up. 

Seems like that in Pattaya.

Nothing to do with the economy, and all to do with drug addiction...same as all other places in Thailand.
