Two Indian tourists were arrested for allegedly stealing
a motorcycle taxi driver’s Honda Wave.
Police were called to The Avenue galleria March 2 where
Morakot Promthra, 32, and passersby had detained Varun Kumar Goel, 27, and
Govind Lal, 42.
Police claimed the Indians confessed to taking the bike,
which they reportedly said they found sitting unoccupied with the keys in
the ignition at the entrance of Soi Ton Noon.
Police took the two suspects to their hotel room to
confiscate their passports only to discover a Thai woman trying to pay off
the taxi driver to drop the charges.
