Theft can often occur in multiple ways, whether at knifepoint or through an innocent act such as a hug.

According to a Facebook post by the Lumphini police, the victim, 52-year-old Andy Koh, was walking back to his hotel along with a Thai friend at around 12.30am on Wednesday.As they approached Asok BTS Station near Soi Sukhumvit 17, a transwoman came towards Koh and hugged him, where she unhooked his gold necklace and fled the scene.
Arrested by police
When Koh’s friend realised what had happened, he ran after the transwoman and eventually caught her.Both Koh and his friend later contacted the police and handed the suspect over to them, where she was arrested.
The Thaiger later reported that the 36-year-old suspect’s name was Kinkon, a Cambodian who had entered Thailand illegally.
Police investigation found that she didn’t have any personal documents or illegal items on her.
Kinkon was charged with theft and faces a jail term of five years and a 100,000 baht (RM12,860.80) fine if convicted.
Always be careful of strangers and don’t hug anyone you don’t know on the streets too!
