New Year’s Eve was not a happy one for a British man who returned home after celebrating to find his house burglarized and hundreds of thousands of baht in jewelry missing.
Police were called to Raviporn Village in East Pattaya around 2:45 a.m. Jan. 1 where Rajendra Vasantri, 51, and his 37-year-old wife Uthumporn Photpath stood in their ransacked living room.
Uthumporn Photpath shows police around the house, pointing to where the thief took valuables.
The couple said they’d gone out to celebrate the New Year and came home to find their front door pried open and many of their belongings tossed about and broken. Upon investigation, they found about 130,000 baht in gold jewelry, a diamond broach and diamond earrings were missing.
Police collected fingerprints in hopes of locating the burglars.
