Pattaya police caught two transgender thieves red-handed stealing a Russian’s gold necklace.
Police were observing Pattaya Beach from a perch at Royal Garden Plaza, watching and videoing ladyboys on the beach. They filmed as two transgender women surrounded Artem Kurisev, 24, as he walked on the beach around 3 a.m.
One hugged and held him while the second ‘katoey’ slipped off his gold necklace. Officers raced across the street and caught one of the thieves with the necklace in her hand.
Kittiphan Bamrajchen, 38, and Aniwat Sathornrat, 29, were booked for theft.
