False pregnancy lands woman in custody
PHUKET TOWN: A woman who became heavily pregnant, very suddenly, while in the Super Cheap store on Thepkrassatri Rd was arrested yesterday for the theft of two cans of tuna, two cans of rambutans and two of coconut cream, plus a pair of jeans and a pack of plastic bags. Police were called to the store after a staff member noticed that the 27-year-old woman, who had not been pregnant when she came into the store, was pregnant when she went to the check-out. She also noticed that the woman had been in the store a long time, but only brought two or three pieces to the check-out. Security staff, on checking, found the stolen products and called the police. The woman admitted that she had also become suddenly pregnant the day before, though on that occasion she had successfully given birth to a set of pajamas, a T-shirt, a can of rambutans and two of coconut cream.
