Sunday, April 13, 2014
PHUKET: Quick action by police last night led to the recovery of a bag and belongings snatched from Russian tourist Irada Mokhubova, 22, as she trolled back from Karon beach about 7.30pm by two men on a motorcycle. The men handed off the bag to a woman and, as the police quickly pursued them, discarded the belongings. Money, telephone and credit card were successfully recovered.

Good luck for the tourist, but can someone explain why the involved persons need to point? Is it a cultural habit which must also be adopted by foreign visitors? Very odd indeed.

@seht this is the customary form of point of proof of 100% postive identification of the offender/s by the victim which the courts accept to ensure they have the correct accused appearing as I understand it,im sure they have optional methods as well.
