A Jomtien Beach vendor complained to Pattaya City Hall that thieves had stolen his stash of drinks in an icebox and also nicked many umbrella poles and stands in the dark of night.

The dejected beach vendor told the press that he had no income for a very long time due to the Covid-19 pandemic and now that he can start working again, he gets robbed of his property that he needs to earn a living.

He hoped the police will be able to investigate and arrest the thieves and that they will beef up security along the beach to prevent this sort of crime from happening again.

City councilors and Pattaya police scour the scene of the crime searching for clues.
