A Belgian man and other bar patrons captured a transvestite who allegedly pick-pocketed him of 5,200 baht.
Police were called to the Mirial beer bar on Second Road Jan. 22 where Yves Wynant, 42, and other patrons had detained Soros Poonneam, 26. The Songkla transsexual, outfitted in long black wig and mini skirt, was accused of accosting the Belgian as he was trying to leave the bar, then snatching cash from his pocket during the unwanted hug.
