Helmeted man robs Thai Military Bank in Klong Tan

By The Nation

 

 

A man managed to make off with just over Bt100,000 after threatening tellers at a Thai Military Bank branch in Bangkok’s Klong Tan area on Friday afternoon. 

 

 

Wearing a helmet, he entered the bank on Phattanakarn Road shortly after noon, walked over to the first counter and held out a plastic bag, demanding the teller fill it with cash. However, she refused.

 

He then walked over to the next counter and claimed he had an explosive, so the teller agreed to hand over the Bt105,320 she had.

 

 

The man then walked out the front door and rode off on a motorbike he had reportedly driven to the bank. 

 

Police are checking all CCTV cameras in the area to work out his escape route.

 

 

The man, dressed in a dark long-sleeved shirt and jeans, was described to be between 35 and 40 years of age and about 180 centimetres tall. His motorcycle was a blue Honda Wave without a licence plate.

No worries, they will find him soon. Police already have this sketch from a previous robbery......

 

When will they make sure that no one wearing a helmet or a mask can enter a public building?

Usually banks have security who should enforce that

It will end up the tellers fault as there were no explosives found and salary deductions for her????

Smart move, waited until the security went for his lunch...........

frequency seems to increasing, can see dye packs and guards with auto weapons on the horizon...

A glass security screen would have prevented this - why do Thai banks never install them? They are "open" for such robberies. 

Should be an easy catch...the robber must have been the only chap wearing a helmet in the whole area, that day....
