Teenage Gang Foiled In Pattaya Snatch And Grab Attempt
Pattaya, 6 November 2010, [PDN]: a German national, Ms Helmut Stoll [49] was sitting near the Dolphin Roundabout with her husband when a three-man teenage gang of opportunist thieves swooped on them and attempted to wrest the woman’s gold necklace with a diamond pendant from around her neck. In the struggle which followed, the necklace broke and fell to the ground, at which point the gang made their escape up North Pattaya Road, empty handed.
Notifying the police, the couple waited in situ a shocked condition. Shortly after, a police response team led by Pol.Capt. Netithorn Rattanasuchanun,Pattaya Police Deputy Chief Inspector, arrived, quickly took details of the attack and went in pursuit of the gang. The gang on two motorcycles was tracked down to Soi Sa-ing, between Pothisarn Road and North Pattaya Road and police attempted to block their exit. The ringleader crashed his blue Honda Wave motorcycle in his eagerness to escape, but the others managed to flee the scene.
Suspect, Jirayut Sirawatcharaphol [20], was arrested and taken into custody at Pattaya Police Station. During his interrogation, Jirayut confessed that the trio made a practice of prowling tourist areas on the lookout for likely victims to rob to support their yah-bah(methamphetamine) habit.
Having seen the two Germans, Jirayut recounted, the gang stopped and while his companions stood on watch, Jirayut approached his intended victims directly and attempted to snatch Ms Helmut’s necklace, but when it disintegrated, they all fled. Jirayut was found to have a criminal record and had only recently been released from jail, imprisoned for similar offences. He also confessed to two recent successful snatch and grabs. While Jirayut remains in custody awaiting trial, charged with attempted theft, his two accomplices are being hunted by police.

TO EVERYONE:
Apparently PDN either does not care, or is incapapable of preventing the mentally diminshed from posting foul garbage under the names of avid and decent readers.
Therefore, any postings under my name from this point on are not by me. This includes the juvenile remark below at 17:29. Nothing could be more offensive to my good character than this aspersion.
Further, the vitriolic attacks by many posters by a few posters, without cause, and based only on country of origin or race, has become quite old. It ruins the enjoyment of the website.
As readers like myself move on to find our news elsewhere, PDN will enjoy only the readership of the ilk who have little better to do with their lives than to post such comments.
Since the IP addresses can be traced by PDN’s webmaster, and this behavior has been going on for many months, I can only assume the statement in paragraph one is accurate.
So which one is real Blade? Tell us!

Helmut Stoll and husband? LOL
Didn't know that same sex marriages where legal in Germany...
Thailand's at number three! With eleven, that's 11 times the gun murders per capita than the U.S., which of course is always criticized for gun violence.
Amazing! (Thailand)
There is s lot of crime here (Thai on Thai) that doesn't make the papers or tourist-town websites.
Google the top 5 gun-murder countries in the world too. You might have a surprise.
Not 100% True it depends how safe the Proxy Server is, otherwise It could be traced right to your Doorstep. But PDN can t do this, if anyone, then its your ISP.
True, and if I were him, I'd want to! But most of the regulars are probably posting from home, don't you think?

To many ways to hide your identity if you have too.

I do blame the drug addicts for the crime, and Bob, it is not all Thai's, just a bunch of losers who deserve to be locked up for their own admission of repeated crimes.
Bob, you must be an attorney to totally exonerate criminal activity and agree with them. Pathetic dude.
This is Thailand, btw, not Germany. Hope the wankers get full punishment given...no mercy from the courts.
Glad the tourists...the victims in this crime are fine.
