A police roadblock failed to catch motorbike-riding
thieves who snatched a 50,000 baht gold necklace from the neck of a
Russian tourist.
Zhuravleva Malina, 28, and Vladislav Malyskin, 29,
told police they were walking near the Big C supermarket in South
Pattaya when two young Thai men sped by on a Honda motorbike and grabbed
Malina’s 18-karat gold necklace with diamond-studded pendant from her
neck.
Police threw up roadblocks on Sukhumvit Road to try
and catch the thieves, but were unable to catch them.
