Authorities caution that filing a false police report carries legal consequences, but if theft is proven, suspects will face full prosecution. PATTAYA, Thailand – An Indian national and jewelry store owner filed a complaint at Pattaya Police Station alleging theft of a gold necklace worth over 150,000 baht at 2:36 a.m. on August 5. The incident reportedly occurred at Soi Pattaya Beach 13/2. According to the complainant’s statement, he was approached by two transgender women dressed provocatively who engaged in suggestive behavior. After he refused their advances, the women allegedly persisted, hugging and fondling him. Shortly afterward, he noticed his 40-gram gold necklace was missing. The suspects reportedly fled the scene without a trace. Pattaya police promptly began investigations and issued a radio alert with the suspects’ descriptions. However, investigators expressed skepticism over the account, noting inconsistencies and contradictions in the testimony. Officers have been reviewing CCTV footage and interviewing witnesses in the area to verify the incident. Authorities have warned that if the claim is found to be fabricated, the complainant could face charges for filing a false police report. Conversely, if the theft is confirmed, the suspects will be pursued under the full force of the law. Police also advised the public—especially tourists—not to wear high-value jewelry or carry large amounts of cash when out at night in entertainment zones, to reduce the risk of becoming targets of theft.
