Italian and Australian Tourists caught up in room theft cases.
We now report on two cases of theft from rooms occupied by foreign tourists.
We begin at the Golden Star Apartments in South Pattaya. Mr. Massimo Gambelli aged 62 from Italy called the Police upon his return to the room after a night out. There were no signs of forced entry to the room, and the room had not been ransacked, however 1,200 Euro’s and 40,000 Baht in cash along with a digital camera and mobile phone had been taken. The room was dusted for fingerprints and impressions were taken from the scene and are now being analysed by forensic officers.
The second case of robbery occurred at the Captain’s Bar and Guest House located in Soi Honey Inn, Central Pattaya. Police Major Witaya from Pattaya Police Station took up the case and spoke with Mr. Mark Woods aged 46 from Australia who also returned to his room after a night out. He went to open the wardrobe in the room and realized his safe box inside the wardrobe had disappeared. Inside the safe box was around 100,000 Baht, a Half Baht weighted gold necklace and Mr. Woods’s flight ticket. CCTV cameras were checked and a man of middle-eastern origin was seen checking out during the evening. There was no other suspicious activity caught on camera. Once again, Police are investigating.
