Pimolphan Saengprathoom, 44, and Wuthanusorn Supharp, 33, were arrested at a shopping mall on Rama 4 road in Bangkok’s Khlong Toey district at 10pm on Thursday by a patrol policeman from the Thong Lor station. The two attempted to buy a Samsung Galaxy S9 smartphone with the Mastercard credit card but despite six tries, Pimolphan’s signature failed to match that on the back of the card. The cashier then sent out a security officer to alert police. The security officer spotted the policeman patrolling the area and led the officer to arrest the couple, who were then taken to the Thong Lor police station. Police later contacted the owner of the card to retrieve it at the station.
