A friendly fraudster was all smiles when he asked to borrow his buddy’s bike on Sunday.

But after the 26-year-old trickster persuaded his friend to lend him the bike for a trip into the province, he made a beeline for the pawn shop and shortly after a local casino had burned a moto-shaped hole in his pocket.

Police arrested the suspect after he tried to evade his friend when he came hunting for the bike. kOH SANTEPHEAP
