The case stems from a robbery on 26 February at a house in a Chokchai village 9 in Nong Prue, Chonburi. Masked offenders reportedly broke in and stole more than 2 million baht in cash inside a safe. Police later confirmed that four British men had been arrested in connection with the crime.
On 2 March 2026, investigators from Nong Prue Police Station escorted three suspects from custody to Pattaya Provincial Court for their first remand. They are named as Mr Palmer Jermaine, 20, arrested at Padang Besar Immigration checkpoint in Sadao district, Songkhla; Mr Christopher Eranse, 38, arrested at Don Mueang International Airport in Bangkok and Tyhull Michael Campbell Jr, 32, arrested at a hotel in Prakhon Chai district, Buriram.

All three have been charged with jointly committing robbery. Police said that during questioning on 1 March 2026 the suspects denied the charges and provided statements that were not useful to the case. One suspect reportedly displayed erratic behaviour and claimed to be mentally unwell.
Investigators say they remain confident in the evidence gathered, including material seized from an apartment in the Jomtien area, allegedly used to divide the stolen money, as well as information relating to the escape route. Forensic officers from Chonburi’s Police Forensic Science Division 2 have collected DNA samples from the three suspects to compare with evidence found at the scene.
Matichon reported that reporters observed the suspects being transported to court. They appeared relaxed, joked with journalists by asking “How are you?”, and reiterated that they were not mafia, at one point requesting cigarettes before departing. A fourth British man, remains in police custody for further questioning to determine his involvement. Authorities said further legal proceedings will follow in accordance with Thai law.
