PATTAYA – A string of violent street robberies is keeping local police on high alert this week. A 45-year-old British man suffered an attack early Tuesday morning in the Jomtien area. Two unknown men riding a motorcycle suddenly boxed him in while he walked alone. The aggressive attackers assaulted the man and tried to steal his mobile phone near Soi Jomtien 15.
Fortunately, the injured British tourist managed to escape without losing his valuable personal property. However, this alarming street incident was certainly not an isolated event in the city. Just minutes later, a Russian tourist faced a terrifying armed robbery at gunpoint on Soi Pattaya Park. According to recent Pattaya news reports, local authorities believe these incidents are closely connected.
Key Takeaways
- Two men on a motorcycle are actively targeting solo foreign men late at night.
- A British tourist and two Russian tourists suffered attacks within a 48-hour window.
- Police are urgently searching for the suspects across the entire Jomtien and Pattaya area.
The Tuesday morning attacks follow another brutal robbery that happened just one day earlier. On Monday, a different Russian tourist was beaten and robbed while walking along Soi Thrappraya 9. Police investigators strongly believe the same two suspects are behind all three of these violent crimes. The criminal pattern is clear, as the thieves specifically target solo male foreigners walking alone late at night.
Safety Warnings for Pattaya Visitors
Authorities are currently reviewing security camera footage from all three crime scenes in the city. They hope to quickly identify the motorcycle license plate and track down the two dangerous men. In addition, police officers have increased their late-night patrols around popular tourist walking streets. The local community is working closely with law enforcement to prevent any further attacks.
Meanwhile, police strongly urge all city visitors to stay highly vigilant when walking alone after dark. Tourists should always stick to well-lit streets and avoid walking through quiet, empty alleys. Furthermore, it is incredibly smart to avoid carrying large amounts of cash or flashing expensive mobile phones. Staying aware of your surroundings is the absolute best way to stay safe while enjoying your vacation.
