Posted on January 29, 2015 at 3:50 am

Pattaya Police are currently searching for a Middle-Eastern man, woman and child, who are suspected of being involved in the theft of US Dollars from a Russian Tourist outside of a 24 hour convenience store in Naklua early on Wednesday Morning.

Mr. Rinat Safin aged 26 and his partner, made their way to Pattaya Police Station just before 3am on Wednesday to report the incident which occurred in Soi 23 off the Naklua Road.

Mr. Safin told Police that he was about to enter the store when he was approached by a Man, woman and child, who appeared to be of middle-eastern origin. The man asked if he could see some Russian Rubles as he was curious as to how the bank notes looked.

Mr. Safin produced some Rubles but the man asked if he could see the US Dollar Bills which were also inside his wallet.

At one point Mr. Safin handed over his wallet to the man who then returned the wallet before leaving with the woman and child. Mr. Safin entered the store but realized that US Dollars were missing from his wallet, when he came to pay for items at the counter. He ran outside but the middle-easterners were gone.

Mr. Safin claimed that he lost 1,700 US Dollars which was detailed on a Police Report which will be used for an insurance claim when Mr. Safin returns to Russia. For now Police are examining security cameras in the area as they attempt to track-down the suspected thief.

Pakistan family arrested by Pattaya Tourist Police on suspicion of theft & deception
Posted on February 18, 2015 at 4:13 am


In the early hours of Tuesday, Pattaya’s Tourist Police conducted a raid on a rented apartment in Jomtien where a family from Pakistan were thought to be staying. They are wanted in Pattaya and Phuket on suspicion of deception and theft of money.

The raid took place just before 3am at the PK Resort in Soi 12 off Jomtien Beach Road. Inside room number 119 was Mr. Adil Hueeani ages 38, Mrs. Surayya Adila aged 41 and their 3 children.

Items including a wad of 100 US Dollar Bills along with 4 Mobile Phones and a Laptop Computer, were seized by Police and taken into evidence.

The raid was prompted by a complaint from a 26 year old Indonesian tourist who claimed he was tricked into handing over Indonesian and US Currency to the family after he was approached in the street. The family claimed they were thinking of travelling to Indonesia and wanted to see the currency. The victim handed over his wallet which also contained US currency, which was taken before the wallet was handed back with only a few bank notes left inside.

Checks by the Tourist Police confirmed that their colleagues in Phuket were also searching for the family. An investigation is now taking place in Pattaya and Phuket as Police urge any potential victims who recognize the family, to come forward.

For now the family are being held by Police pending further enquiries.
