Ding Jianying, 36, told Pol Captain Thanin Kanphai, an officer on duty at Pattaya Police Station, at 1am that two strangers approached her inside the store on Naklua Soi 18 on Pattaya-Naklua Road.
Ding said the two asked her to show yuan banknotes, saying they had never seen it. She said she handed her wallet to the two – one suspected to be a Thai and the other a foreigner. She said they talked to her for a while before handing the wallet back.
She said 2,000 yuan was missing from her wallet when she was about to pay for her purchases.
Thanin said police will check footage of the store’s CCTVs.
