Police are looking for two foreign men after a local shop owner reported a mobile phone holder stolen from her shop in Phuket on Friday.
Col. Nareuwat Putthawiro, of the Phuket Tourist Police, confirmed that his officers are currently looking for two foreigners who were seen stealing in a viral video posted by Nichaporn Chaiviriyawong, owner of Remax mobile accessories shop in Samkong.
The CCTV video shows a foreign man in a white shirt taking some merchandise from a shelf and putting it into his bag while the shop assistant is helps another client wearing a black shirt. Nichaporn believes that the two men acted as a team.
“Two clients, both male foreigners in their 50s-60s, entered the shop together. They bought some goods worth THB5,365 and payed with a credit card. But while the staff member was serving the man in black, the man in white took a mobile phone holder worth THB699 [and which he didn’t pay for] and put it into his bag,” Nichaporn told.
“The man in the black shirt didn’t steal anything, but the two came in and walked out together,” she added.
“I believe these two foreigners live nearby,” Col. Nareuwat added.
