Soi 8 pick-pocket arrested

Crime does not pay, as this pick-pocket discovered on December 12.

Police received a complaint from Ms. Nonglak Phophuta, 29, on December 12. She said that she had her pocket picked by a male flower vendor on Soi 8, Beach Road. She had filed a complaint a few days before but could now tell police exactly where the thief was. She took the police to find the fellow, who was walking along the beach.
Officers sent a group of police out to catch the miscreant, who was looking for more prey along the beach, and brought him to Pattaya police station for questioning. The man, Suchart Sukhseri, 30, admitted he was a snatch and run thief, but unfortunately had spent all of the 800 baht he had stolen from Nonglak. He had thrown all her personal documents away at a school of which he did not know the name. He admitted that he took to pick-pocketing as it was an easy way to make money. The police were not impressed. He now is in custody and awaits trial.
