BANGKOK – A 37-year-old Algerian traveler was arrested at Suvarnabhumi airport yesterday(Dec 17) for bag snatching after he returned to Thailand.

He was produced with evidence for the snatch theft at a restaurant inside the Suvarnabhumi airport in August this year. However he denied the charge.

According to Suvarnabhumi airport police, the Algerian suspect was responsible for the stealing of 25,000 baht cash from the handbag of a British man at a restaurant on the third floor of the Passenger Terminal.
