Brit facing jail in Thailand is caught on CCTV taking tourist's smartphone

A British backpacker could face five years behind bars in Thailand after allegedly picking up a stranger's phone 'by mistake'. Rory McColl, 37, had just arrived in Bangkok for a 12-day holiday but was detained on his first night out after bar staff alerted police. He now faces charges and could spend up to three years in a Thai jail unless the case is dropped at a preliminary hearing.
