PHUKET: A Danish tourist who had a gold necklet snatched from his neck on Phuket yesterday by two men on a motorcycle recovered his jewellery today.
Quick work by police led to recovery of the expensive gold necklet and the arrest of one of the suspects.
Security cameras enabled Phuket police to trace the motorcycle after Preben Andersen, 67, and his wife Inge became the target of thieves near the Kata Karon Lookout on the coast road about 2am yesterday.
Mr Andersen could not help police with a motorcycle registration number but police noted that the pair sped off towards Rawai and were able to find security cameras that told them what they wanted to know.
Nawamin Daijalern, 21, was traced to an address in Patak Road and arrested today. Officers are still hunting for his suspected accomplice.
