Three men who allegedly worked together to steal two mobile phones from a Pattaya guest house have been arrested. CCTV footage showed the second and third suspects walking down Pattaya Second Road the night before.
The first and second suspects were also seen heading down Pattaya Second Road to Pattaya Central Road after they left the guest house.
The first and third suspects were arrested in their rental room at the Panowla Residence on Soi 13/2 on Beach Road. They then led the police to the second suspect staying at the Lek hotel in Soi 12 on Pattaya Second Road.
Even though the suspects admitted that they were the people caught in the CCTV footage, they denied the allegations, The Pattaya News reported.
The men have been identified as Egyptian nationals. The men are 41 year old Yasser Zaki Mohamed Ismail, 46 year old Ali Elasayed Attia Hussein, and 45 year old Mamdouh Abouamer Badawy.
One of the thieves had reportedly snatched the phones while another had asked a staff member to take him on a tour of the rooms. The staff checked CCTV and saw that the mobile phones, a 9,500-baht Samsung A21, and 15,000-baht Huawei Mate 20 Pro, had gone and that one of the tourists stole them.
