Iranian drugs Pattaya Hotel Cashier and steals cash from Reception safe boxes

In the early hours of Saturday Police arrested an Iranian man who was accused of drugging a Hotel cashier and then attempting to break-open safe-boxes located behind the reception.

Police were called to the Prima Place Hotel in Soi Khopia in South Pattaya, just before 5am and arrested Mr. Saeid Mir Hosseini aged 46. Police examined CCTV pictures and saw the suspect use a screwdriver to force open a safe-box behind the reception as the night cashier, Khun Chantana aged 30, slept nearby.

What the suspect did not realize was that another member of staff, Khun Saring aged 37, was watching the attempted theft from the front porch of the Hotel where the cashier was taken to. Initially the man was detained by staff and a Hotel guest, pending the arrival of Police.

Mr. Hosseini had checked into the Hotel on Friday and was due to check out later on Saturday. He had befriended the cashier and went to a nearby convenience store and purchased a cup of coffee for her, which Police suspect was laced with sleeping tablets.
