An Australian man was subjected to a street robbery on the new Jomtien Second Road, in the early hours of Tuesday. Mr. Oliver Perry aged 45, reported the incident to Dongtan Police Sub-Station on Jomtien Beach and revealed he was stopped on his motorbike by two Thai men who appeared to be plain-clothed Police Officers or Police Volunteers. One of the men was wearing a leather Police ID Holder around his neck. They subjected Mr. Perry to a search and seized an Acer Computer Notebook, a Digital Camera and 8,000 Baht in cash which were contained within a black bag Mr. Perry had over his shoulder. Police suspect the men were not Police Officers but were either rogue Police Volunteers or men pretending to work for the Police. Due to a lack of security cameras on Jomtien Second Road, the chance of recovering the stolen items are slim and the arrest of the men responsible for the theft is unlikely.

Dammed if you do Dammed if you don't.

 

Had he not stopped he may of been ok or run down because they were offical

 

Always think we all walk a fine line when in Thailand at least the Guy was not hurt or worse.

Always risky riding a bike with a backpack on.

Makes you a target in more ways than one for robbery apparently.

Thanks for sharing the story.
