The arrests were confirmed on 1 March 2026 after police obtained warrants from Pattaya Provincial Court for the four British suspects. Those named under the warrants are Palmer Jermaine, 20, who was arrested at Padang Besar immigration checkpoint in Sadao district, Songkhla; Christopher Eranse, 38, detained at Don Mueang International Airport in Bangkok while allegedly preparing to leave Thailand and Tyhull Michael Campbell Junior, 32, arrested at a hotel in Prakhon Chai district, Buriram.
The fourth suspect, Garrett Brandon, 27, was apprehended at a resort near the railway road in Nong Prue. Police said CCTV footage showed the group leaving the resort prior to the robbery, suggesting it was used as a planning location. Officers later searched the room used and found Brandon inside, before taking him in for questioning regarding his alleged involvement.
Investigators confirmed that all four suspects have been charged with “jointly committing robbery”. During initial questioning, they denied the allegations and provided statements described by police as unhelpful to the case. Officers have separated the suspects for further interrogation and placed them in separate holding cells.
Police stated they are confident that evidence gathered will support legal proceedings against all four men. Further details are expected to be confirmed by Pol Lt Gen Chatchai Surachetphong, Commissioner of Provincial Police Region 2, who is due later to hold a press briefing to formally summarise the case.
