Surachate said the gang entered Thailand at Sa Kaew and in the capital picked pockets at tourist attractions, shopping malls and BTS stations. Foreigners were their chief victims, although it was a Thai who tipped off police, leading to the arrests. The Thai woman was robbed of her iPhone on Thursday.
