Chaotic Scenes following theft of bag inside Discotheque in North Pattaya
Just before 4am on Saturday, Pattaya Police were called to the Hollywood Discotheque located in North Pattaya to investigate reports of two women accused of stealing a handbag from a fellow customer inside this popular discotheque.
Police arrested Khun Eyerin aged 22 and Khun Torfun aged 21 following a complaint from Khun Nantida aged 29 and Khun Supaporn aged 35.
They claimed the two suspects stole a handbag from a table occupied by the two complainants.
They were seen by staff members taking the bag into the toilet and at this point Security Guards were called in and detained the two suspects who had dumped the bag behind the door of the toilet.
They were alleged to have taken 700 Baht in cash and two mobile phones from the bag.
At Pattaya Police Station chaotic scenes ensued as one of the suspects placed a call to her father who she claimed was a high ranking army officer.
Khun Eyerin became hysterical and vented her anger on a local journalist who had his camera ripped from his hands.
She began to scream and shout and Police looked on in amazement but decided to allow her to continue her rant until she crouched into a corner of the room and sobbed uncontrollably.
Both suspects were clearly in a drunken state and were given time to calm down before Police continued with the process of charging them with theft.
