Two Russian women were arrested for allegedly assaulting employees
at a South Pattaya 7-Eleven and vandalizing the store.
Irina Lyubaykina, 35, and Elena Klepechina, 27, were taken into custody
at the convenience store at the mouth of Soi Diamond near Walking Street
Nov. 28. Manager Suriporn Sutinawee showed police 2,500 baht in
merchandise the women allegedly broke.
Suriporn claimed the Russians had purchased 219 baht in goods and had
paid with 220 baht. However, the women began shouting they’d paid with
1,000 baht and had been cheated on their change.
An argument ensued and Lyubaykina then allegedly smashed the manager
with a Coca-Cola bottle in the head. People stepped in to break up the
fight and pulled the women out of the store. But they soon returned and
began to throw cosmetics, drinks and food on the floor.
The Russian women refused to speak to police and are being held pending
further investigation.
