A Thai man and two Thai
women have been arrested in Bangkok, Thailand for robbing a Nigerian
national of his cash and valuables worth 130,000 bahts (about
N760,000).
The
three suspects were arrested early Friday according to Pol Maj Gen Nipon
Charoenphol, deputy commissioner of the Metropolitan Police Bureau,
while at a press conference at the Bang Na police station reports Thai
Visa News.
One of
the suspects, Chananthida Khampae, 21, was arrested at the Seven Days
restaurant on Srin Nakharind Road and Panida Booncharoen, 19, was
arrested in front of the restaurant at about 1 am Friday.
The two
later led police to arrest the third suspect, Sarut Phawasupanon, 32,
who is also Chananthida's boyfriend, at his houuse in Mueang Samut
Prakan district.
The
arrest was made after Obiora Vincen Izegbu, 36, a Nigerian, filed a
complaint with the Bang Na police station at 1 pm Thursday that he had
been robbed by a taxi driver and two women early in the day.
The
Nigerian man told police that one of the suspects is a taxi driver whom
he hired to drive him on Wednesday evening. He said at some point, the
taxi driver persuaded him to eat and drink at the Seven Day restaurant
after which the two Thai women came to sit and drink with him.
After he got drunk, the taxi driver took the three to an Isaan food shop where they stayed until 5 am on Thursday.
He said
he was completely drunk and the taxi driver and the two women took him
to Soi Chalermphakiart 2, where he was robbed of Bt80,000 in cash, a
gold necklace worth Bt45,000, a gold locket worth Bt22,000 and two smart
phones.
Police later learned the identities of the two women, who admitted that they collaborated with Sarut to rob the Nigerian.
