Police, who found Saveisberg wandering the street with the prawns stuffed in his pocket, arrested him.
“He was taken to the Patong Police Station, where he confessed that he stole the prawns because he was very drunk,” Lt Thongpael Khurhom of the Patong Police said.
“As Ms Aruni did not file a complaint against Mr Saveisberg, he was not charged for the theft. Instead he was fined 500 baht for drunkenness and causing damage to property.
The tiger prawns were returned to Ms Aruni but here’s hoping after their adventure she decided not to keep them.
