Pattaya police arrested a troubled middle-aged white man yesterday after he pepper-sprayed cashiers at a Tesco Lotus minimart, before ransacking shelves behind the counter and fleeing with a pack of cigarettes and Spy wine coolers.

 

According to the store employees, the foreign man, whose name or nationality were not revealed, walked into the store on Central Pattaya Road to buy booze, but was turned down because it was after the legal time to sell alcohol.

 

The angry white man then pepper-sprayed two employees in the face, as seen in CCTV footage, before ransacking the store for not beer or whisky, but for Spy wine coolers, a popular drink among young Thai ladies.

Severe prison sentence needed for such a crime.

Start setting examples, it might just act as a deterrent !

American guy robs jewelry store in Chiang Mai, another white guy robs Tesco Lotus in Pattaya - it's a full blown farang crime wave! 

What an idiot ! must have been "out of his box"

Trouble-minded indeed, maybe his ti-lak was needing a Spy to relax ?

 

The jerk would have gone unnoticed abroad...

 

but here in Thailand, where the interactions between farangs and locals can get touchy, such idiots tarnish the image for the whole lot of quality and decent tourists/expats in the country.

Not too many bashing here, had it been an Chinese, Indian or arab by now the threads would have been pouring like rain.

Hope the store staff make a full and speedy recovery.

Spy wine cooler with Pear is quite tasty, I can see how he craved for it

Just another cigarette smoker.

Stupid selling booze time restrictions.

Where are the "bashers"?!

Just wonder if pepper spray is legal in TH ?

Ofcause it will not be legal to use against dogs...

 

Paper sprays are illegal he is in deep xxx

I'm watching the video; and what I'm finding hilarious is he sprays the clerk while the one in the foreground goes on her merry way with the paperwork.  And the guy near the storeroom door is just casually watching it all unfold before he, too, gets sprayed.  Then even after that guy gets sprayed, Ms. Paperwork is STILL doing her paper thing. It's as if this is the norm at that store.

That is one bright boy, a real shining light

Tourist? How do you know? More than likely but maybe an ex-pat. Either way not much between the ears.

What a goose...send him home after six months jail.

The guy is a PoS, regardless of his nationality (I'm hoping he's not British) and deserves a harsh sentence followed by deportation.

 

In Pattaya (maybe in every town in Thailand) you are never more than a few minutes away from a shop that will sell you alcohol during the "dry" hours - yet, on several occasions, I have seen westerners get very upset/aggressive with check-out staff when they can't buy their beer in the 7-11 or Tesco.

 

The staff in these places are usually youngsters, weighing in at about 40-50 kilos. Great opportunity for some bullies to throw their weight around - scum.

"situational awareness" is pathetically lacking and likely plays in the road deaths also

It is pretty much the "norm" in a lot of Pattaya (maybe not the pepper spay).

 

Never a dull moment in Pattaya.

 

I always enjoy my visits.

When committing a crime surely its best to weigh up the reward against the potential of getting caught and the punishment.

 

I can't but help think the 300 baht or so reward falls a little short to the almost definite several year jail term in this case .... and i bet the CS spray cost as much as the goods he took.

 

Though i'm sure i recognise his face, or may be its just a common look.

why did they not name and shame this idiot

just hope he can not buy his way out of this. must of been on drugs. just ****** stupid

just another one that should have cancelled his treval plans instead.

Possibly a deadbeat loser on visa overstay, no money and desperate just like the loser who recently robbed a gold shop in Chiang Mai.

 

Too many of them hitting on Thailand now, low life trash from all over the western world that believe Thailand is a sanctuary and is obliged to let these morons stay here. Like tenants that cannot to pay their rent, these people should be evicted from the country forthwith. 

Foreigner not Farang?
