Two teenagers were arrested for allegedly snatching a handbag
from a woman on Walking Street.
Nopporn Kaewthong, 19, and a 15-year-old student at a local polytechnic
school were captured Jan. 30 on Third Road near the Sophon Cable TV
headquarters. Police caught the older teen holding a makeup bag reported
stolen by Nutsara Paichinda, 28.
Nutsara said she was strolling on Walking Street when the boys nearly
crashed their orange Honda Wave into her. When she stopped to confront
them, they stole the bag containing her phone and 2,000 baht cash, she
said. Police recovered the phone, but only 740 baht.
Police said the teens confessed to the robbery.
