Drunk massage girl’s nap turns into mobile snatch horror
A young massage girl’s boozy kip turned into a nightmare after a cunning thief made off with her mobile, all while she dozed on the pavement outside her Pattaya parlour.
Suphassara Somsuay, from Sisaket province, shared CCTV footage in a desperate bid to track down a mobile phone thief who struck while she was fast asleep outside her massage shop in Pattaya.
The shocking snatch took place at around 6am on May 3 outside a parlour on Pattaya Soi 4. The footage shows the 19 year old woman, clad in her work clothes, dozing alone on the pavement when a figure, believed to be a transgender woman, appears on camera.
The suspect, dressed in a black sleeveless top, matching mini skirt, sneakers, and carrying a shoulder bag, was seen acting jittery and rummaging through a nearby storage cabinet.
Moments later, she brazenly sat beside the sleeping teen and carefully pinched her Vivo Y335 smartphone, worth around 8,000 baht, along with her ID card tucked inside the phone case. The thief calmly dropped the loot into her bag and vanished into the early morning shadows.
Speaking to The Pattaya News, Suphassara recalled the hazy hours leading up to the theft.
“After work, I went out for grilled pork with friends and had a bit too much to drink. When I got back to the shop at around 6am, the front door was locked. I was too tired to wait around so I lay down outside with my phone near my head. When I woke up, it was gone.”
Suphassara filed a report with Pattaya City Police and handed over the footage, which clearly shows the suspect’s face.
“I just want the thief caught. You can see everything clearly on the CCTV.”
Meanwhile, another Pattaya phone thief found himself well and truly hooked, after targeting the wrong fishing crew.
On the evening of Sunday April 27, a 13 year old boy known only as Thermo was enjoying a peaceful squid-fishing session at Bali Hai Pier when a sneak thief tried to reel in his iPhone XR, which had been left sitting on a nearby concrete ledge.
Witnesses say the suspect climbed over a railing and made a grab for the gadget but didn’t count on a fellow fisherman spotting his fishy move.
Quick-thinking 19 year old Thanabodi, who was fishing nearby, immediately clocked the theft and sprang into action, chasing down the suspect and preventing a clean getaway.
