Two Italian men robbed by women they picked up for in-room
massages expressed impatience with police for not immediately finding
their unidentified masseuses.
Salvatore Mancuso, 61, and Svaldo Dolcege, 63, complained to the media
Sept. 9 about a lack of progress in the investigation into the drugging
and robbery that occurred two nights earlier in their hotel on Soi
Buakaow.
The Italians told police the two women propositioned them on Beach Road
for massages. They accepted, never bothering to get the women’s names.
Once back at their rooms, they drank wine coolers purchased by the women
and, shortly after, passed out.
They awoke the next night to find their room ransacked and about 600,000
baht in cash and electronics missing, including a 150,000 baht camera.
Salvatore, who said he was a British journalist, and his friend
complained to the media, wondering why the women have not yet been
caught. They said they are leaving soon and would like this case wrapped
up.
As for evidence, police only have a security camera photo to go on.
