Naklua —
A Thai woman was arrested for stealing a Russian tourist’s bag left outside a convenience store in Naklua.
On January 23rd, Banglamung police arrested 33-year-old Ms. Nisa for allegedly stealing a bag from a male Russian tourist.
The incident began on January 8rd, 2025, when 37-year-old Russian tourist Mr. Xavier reported to Banglamung police that he had lost a black shoulder bag containing over 120,000 baht in cash, a mobile phone, and important documents. The incident occurred in front of a convenience store in Soi 6 in Naklua.
Police reviewed CCTV footage and found that the victim had been drinking with a friend at a table outside the store before heading back to his accommodation. However, he accidentally left his bag hanging on a chair.
The suspect, who was sitting nearby with her daughter, later moved to the victim’s table. She then pretended to clean the area before allegedly taking the bag, placing it in a plastic bag, and leaving with her daughter in a public transport vehicle to return home in Samut Prakan. She later spent the stolen money on a family trip and car payments.
Police eventually tracked Ms. Nisa down and arrested her. She has been charged with “theft at night” and was handed over to Banglamung investigators for legal proceedings.
