Despite the promised crackdown on crime in the City with Thai army and Thai Navy personnel going out on increased patrols with Pattaya Police officers crimes against tourists seem to be continuing unabated.
A female Chinese tourist Miss Min Shu aged 21 year old told police that she was walking with some friends near the Mum Aroy junction on Pattaya third road in North Pattaya when a man on a grey motorcycle pulled alongside her and snatched her bag which contained 20,000 baht in cash, 1,000 Yuan in cash along with some personal documents before riding away from the scene at high speed.
The police immediately broadcast a description of the highway robber on the police radio network but this failed to give any results.
All the police could do was take down the young lady's story and issue a crime report that she can use to claim on her insurance if she has it.
