webfact Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Chiang Mai hunt for "Arab" gold shop thief after rings theft Picture: Thai Rath Police in Chiang Mai are hunting for a thief who held up a gold shop at the Thanin market yesterday. Saleswoman at the O-eh shop Benjaporn Janthawong, 24, said that a middle eastern looking man came into the store speaking a language she didn't know. He went for his pocket appearing to be about to produce a weapon. He then tried to get in the back of the shop that was locked. But managed to put his hand through some bars to retrieve a tray of gold rings. He was able to steal 14 one quarter baht weight rings and flee. He was wearing a light blue t-shirt and had tattoos on his right arm. Police said that he had come to the area on a rented motorcycle. A check was made on exit points at the train station and bus stations but police said he was likely still in the city, reported Thai Rath.
