Mueang Chonburi –

A gold snatcher sped away after stealing from a noodle vendor in the Mueang Chonburi district.

The Mueang Chonburi Police were notified of the incident in Soi Direk, in the Makham Yeng sub-district earlier this week.

They arrived at the noodle shop to find Ms. Chatchada Sutthimarn, 50, an employee. She told Chonburi police, “A male suspect, aged around 30, came into the restaurant before ordering food.”

“When I turned my back, the suspect snatched a gold necklace worth about 28,000 baht from my neck before speeding away. I shouted for help and other restaurant patrons nearby chased after the suspect but failed. The suspect managed to escape on foot through a series of small alleys and climbing on top of local homes.”

Police are now hunting for the suspect and reviewing CCTV in the area.

Meanwhile, last week a suspect who snatched a mobile phone from a food vendor was quickly arrested in the Sattahip district.
