snoop1130 Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Foreigner pepper-sprays cashiers at minimart before stealing cigarettes and cheap wine coolers By Coconuts Bangkok Screenshot: Bright TV 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.

Popular Post observer90210 Posted August 30, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted August 30, 2017 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. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post cheesecakegirl Posted August 30, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted August 30, 2017 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. 5 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chickenslegs Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arth Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 (edited) 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. Edited August 30, 2017 by Arth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyberfarang Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
