These people are the victims of crime, why list their names for everyone to see, I wouldn't want my name in the papers for everyone to see

what could possibly be achieved by mentioning everybody's name? I find this completely unnecessary and pure sensationalism I am glad you have nothing better to write about than to think that this is important..... Regards A long term expat!

Editor Comment:

Detailing the names and the information we have been provided with by police enables our reporters and readers to determine whether other incidents have gone unrecorded. Do you, anonymous person, want crimes covered up?

People say That England are hooligans have got a bad name Look down the list count how many English people are on there for causing trouble. I think it's a great idea to let people know what's going on in phuket

I was burglared several times this year & filed police reports in Chalong. My name is not on this list nor are at lease 8 people I know that were burglared and/or the victim of assault/robbery.

So much for police statistics.

Editor Comment:

Burglaries have never been recorded as ''crimes against expats'' because burglary is non-specific. If a house or an apartment is occupied by Thais and non-Thais, then it's categorised as local crime.
