Woman hurt in

Victims point to the
ex-security guard thief.
Boonlua Chatree
An unemployed former security guard was arrested after allegedly snatching a
necklace from a woman, causing her to crash into a minibus.
Visanu Suthum, 37, was detained by witnesses to the Sept. 25 incident near
Chaimongkol Temple in South Pattaya. Police arrived to find him and an
injured Namtaam Kukhumayu, 38, who accused Visanu of stealing her Buddhist
amulet pendant.
The Chiang Rai native said she was driving her motorbike toward Walking
Street when Visanu allegedly snatched the gold chain and amulet. She then
lost control and smashed into a minibus.
Visanu reportedly confessed, saying he believed the amulet was a “metal
melting” charm he’d desired for a long time and he either planned to wear it
himself or sell it, as he’d been fired as Pattaya city security guard and
was out of work.
