Police have identified the suspects as Chen Dewei, 52, and Tang Jinshan, 46. Recordings from security cameras showed Chen pretending to talk over the phone near a Vietnamese tourist before allegedly stealing his suitcase and briefcase containing a computer notebook on May 31. Based on these recordings, police traced Chen to his room at a guesthouse in Bangkok’s Khao San area. He was sharing the room with Tang, who allegedly stole 1,000 euros (Bt35,000) cash from a British tourist at the same airport on May 22. Police have asked the Immigration Bureau to revoke the visas of both Chen and Tang and proceed with their deportation.
