webfact Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Lone man robs Korat 7-Eleven shop of Bt2 million, inside job suspected By The Nation Picture: Manager A lone man robbed a 7-Eleven shop in Nakhon Ratchasima’s Muang district early on Monday and made off with Bt2 million in cash in what police believe was an inside job. The Jor Hor police station was alerted at 2.28am that a 7-Eleven shop in the Ban Pho community in Tambon Bn Pho had been robbed of cash. Security-camera footage from inside the shop shows a man wearing a full-sized helmet walking into the shop while there three staff were inside. The robber pretended to buy a pack of cigarettes but then pulled out a foot-long knife to threaten a female cashier into leaving the counter. The video showed him walking behind the counter and picking up a key to open the safe, from which he removed the Bt2 million in cash, stuffed it into his bag and fled on his motorcycle. The whose process took just two minutes. Nakhon Ratchasima deputy police chief Pol Colonel Pawarit Boonsutthi said the robber apparently knew the shop routines and how to avoid the security camera. He said police would interrogate staff of the shop for more clues. Pol Colonel Kitti Saengsiriwut, commander of the Jor Hor police station, said he interviewed the shop manager and learned the cash from weekend sales was kept in the safe before being deposited to a bank on Monday.

30la Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 2 millions? Why is there so much money in the cashier? Perhaps the takings of the last hours! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinneil Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 First question, what the hell were the safe keys doing just lying there? Surely only the shop manager would have access to the safe keys, definately an inside job. Police should check the managers financial affairs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PETERTHEEATER Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 As with banks, I thought it was CP 7/11 policy not to 'serve' people who enter the shop wearing full-face helmets and or visors. Was his escape motorcy outside in view of the CCTV. Oh, silly me the CCTV doesn't work for inside jobs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

webfact Posted July 3, 2019 Author Share Posted July 3, 2019 Ex-female worker arrested for allegedly robbing Korat 7-Eleven shop of Bt2.3 million By The Nation Woman ex-employee arrested over smooth 7-Eleven heist Police have arrested a former female 7-Eleven shop staff member in Nakhon Ratchasima’s Muang district for allegedly robbing the shop of Bt2.3 million in cash. Police arrested Rojana Chongklang, 25, who used to work at a 7-Eleven shop in Ban Pho community in Tambon Ban Pho, at her house on Tuesday, about 36 hours after the robbery. Police said Rojana worked at the shop for 10 years but was fired late last year. Officers found most of the missing cash hidden in a cesspool at her house in Ban Dan Khon Khob village, about 15 kilometres from the robbed shop. She had allegedly spent some of the money and was planning to flee to South Korea. Police said she robbed the shop due to a debt of several hundreds of thousands of baht. The investigative team of the Jor Hor police station is still interrogating 12 of the shop’s staff, one at a time, to check for possible clues that the alleged robber was helped by insiders, given how easy it was for her to leave with a large haul of cash from the safe box. The robbery took place early on Monday. The shop manager said that the safe contained a lot of money from weekend sales, and is sent to the bank during office hours on Monday. Earlier, it was reported that the robber was a man in a full-size crash helmet and carrying a long knife. Pol Maj-General Thakoon Nattheesi, deputy commissioner of the Provincial Police Bureau 3, said the force is still checking whether Rojana had an accomplice.

trainman34014 Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Found most of the money in a cesspool at her house ! These people are numbskulls. If you were planning a robbery like this would you not already have also planned your escape before anyone could come looking for you as an ex shop employee ? No need to think about South Korea, just hop across any border with all due haste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was not in the cashier register it was in a safe below the counter.... but that does beg the question why is the safe there and not located somewhere safer.
