Woman, believed to be Indian, caught on CCTV stealing a suitcase in Thailand's Phuket

A short clip from a market area in Thailand’s Phuket has gone viral in Thai social media channels as it shows a woman stealing and walking away with the stolen article calmly. And many reports, including Thaiger News, concluded that the woman was probably Indian. In the video, the woman could be seen stealthily approaching a shop with a suitcase kept on display. The woman who was walking on the sidewalk just dragged the suitcase with its packaging and tags and continued walking as if nothing happened. The woman was wearing a white T-shirt and short jeans. She was carrying a green plastic bag on her left arm and had a shoulder bag on her right. There is no official report of anyone lodging a complaint. It’s also not confirmed whether the woman is Indian or not. The shop owner told Thaiger that they were not certain of the woman’s nationality but suspected she may be Indian based on her appearance.The Phuket Times Facebook page shared the security camera clip February 26. A Thai man commenting on the post said he later saw a woman in the Bangla area carrying the stolen luggage. He added that the plastic sheet covering the brand-new suitcase had not even been removed. Other Thai social media users expressed surprise in the comments, saying the suitcase was large and would be easy to notice, but the woman still allegedly took it and left the area.Local shops in Phuket are often targeted by such petty thefts because of the heavy presence of tourists throughout the year. On February 9, two South Korean women were caught on CCTV stealing swimwear from a local shop. One woman distracted a Thai shop caretaker by asking for help in a fitting room while the other allegedly placed items into a tote bag.
