A Danish man was charged with filing a false police report after claiming to have been robbed, allegedly in order to rip off his insurance company.
Nongprue police responded to the rail crossing on Soi Siam Country Club late Jan. 12 where they found a drunk Sonnich Burmoiie Jensen, 23, claiming he had been robbed at knifepoint.
Lost in the assault, he said, was 20,000 baht, a 2-baht-weight gold chain, an Apple iPhone 6 and other belongings.

Taken for further questioning at Nongprue Police Station, the Dane’s story began to fall apart once CCTV footage from the area was reviewed.

The Danish embassy was contacted and Jensen charged with filing a false police report.
