Thief with Red Nails Caught Hiding in Neighbor’s House

Saturday at 3:30 am, the Pattaya Police, the Civilian Volunteers and the Police Volunteers, led by Deputy Superintendent In charge of Suppression, Pol. Lt. Col. Grisagorn Tong-in were summoned by Mrs. Pranon Foster, aged 36.  She stated that a thief was trying to break into her house, which is located in The Grand Lotus Place, on Soi Tepprasit 5.  Both she and her husband had been awoken by the sound of a glass window being broken, and then saw the thief climbing the fence to run away.
 
The police came to the crime scene immediately. The nearly burgled house was a luxurious villa, and Mrs. Pranom Foster was waiting for the police. The police found a sliding window at the side of the house broken, showing where the thief was trying to enter.
 
Mrs. Pranom and her husband said they saw a man running away and climbing over the fence after he was spotted by them. The police surrounded the villas, as it seemed the thief was still hiding in the neigborhood.
 
A dark blue Honda Wave 100 motorcycle was found parked under a tree, hidden in a bush outside the villas, and right after that discovery, the next door British neighbor Mr. Sergey Segaz, aged 37 and his British wife, informed the police that an unknown Thai man was hiding in one of their closets. The police entered the house and managed to apprehend Mr. Pumsit Yimsuan, aged 29 a local, who was indeed hiding in the closet of the British couple. Mr. Pumsit claimed that he was not a thief, but tried to hide because he was frightened by the police.
 
For no apparent reason, Mr. Pumsit had painted his right thumb nail and big right toe nail red, so the officers slapped the moniker “red nails” on him. The evidence and circumstances supported the accusations of the couple and witnesses, and so Mr. Pumsit was taken for further investigation and legal proceedings. The police were convinced that he was not alone, and will seek any accomplices.
