PHUKET: Police should be commended for arresting within 48 hours two thieves who snatched a camera belonging to a Brazilian tourist, Phuket Police Commander Major General Chote Chawanwiwat said today.
Rosemary Maria Cabrera had an expensive red Nikon camera snatched on Sunday by two young men on a motorcycle.
Last night at 7pm, police from Phuket City and Karon hauled in Kanin Kongchana, 22, and a 15-year-old Burmese who as a minor cannot be identified.
Commander Chote said the red and black Yamaha Fino used in the snatch in Soi Ket Kwan in Karon had provided one clue and security camera footage also helped.
''I asked police to solve this one as fast as possible because we don't want these kinds of incidents affecting Phuket tourism,'' he said.
The tourist was delighted to get her camera back so speedily, he said.
Modest about their achievements, officers at Karon Police Station were reluctant today to provide further details about the case.

Good to see as I am a Tourist in my Passport so feel much more secure now.
