TEENAGE BOY GOLD SNATCHING GANG ARRESTED
Pattaya Police were notified on Thursday that four teenage boys were being detained in front of Pothisampan school in Naklua suspected of being involved in a gold chain snatching incident. The victim, 18 year old Miss Poonyaporn stated that whilst she was sitting on a baht bus, the boys came alongside on a motorcycle and one of them tugged her gold chain away from around her neck as they passed by. Fortunately, police volunteers were nearby and gave chase. In panic one of the boys threw the gold chain away just before they were pulled over by officers. They were taken back to the police station where they confessed to that and other snatchings they had done over the past few days. The 15 year old boys are now being detained until their parents or guardians appear so legal proceedings can go ahead against them.
