PHUKET: Police believe they have identified a man who robbed two Family Mart stores in Phuket, each time by threatening the staff with a knife that was on sale in the store.

 

Officers from the Phuket City Police were called to the Family Mart convenience store on Tilok Uthit 2 Rd in Phuket Town, near the fresh market on Ong Sim Pai Rd, after the man robbed the store at about 5:40am.

 

At the store the officers found the two staff on duty – Ameenou Saoute, 24, from Rueso District in Narathiwat and Hatyah Waehama, 28, from Yarang District in Pattani – still visibly affected by the robbery.

Why do they have to mention the name of the staff and where they are from?

I think it's such a crazy Thai habit to use full names. Even if someone is arrested, you are only guilty if a judge decides that you are. Mentioning real names is ridiculous. Even if you are not guilty your name will come up on google for the rest of your life.  And now I read the names and places of residence of people who work in a store?

Maybe they want you to visit them at home?  ????

I hope he paid for the knife, otherwise that's stealing

I think thats the least of his worries

they are witnesses so its pure stupidness to mention their  names and adress

I'll bet they put the loot in plastic bags.

The police is so lenient country wide, that's why those thieves keep doing it over and over again.....

Totally Agree. Why mention Staff and where they live at all ? Highly Irresponsible .

And now even more worried that their names and localities have been shared nationwide..

He’s a thrifty thief. He chose knives that were on sale.

If it was a 7/11 it would be double bagged and a couple of straws and spoons thrown in for good measure.

I hope he said no to plastic bags

... hmm, it may be the only known information so far ... ????

If they increased the price of the knife and removed any sales discount on it, this would not have happened.

Presumably he's only got one shirt to his name.  I wonder if he's ever considered getting a job and working for money ?   He could be one of the lucky applicants for one of those 80.000 jobs that have been created out of thin air !

I believe employees should carry a weapon no matter what the store says.Maybe not a gun but possibly a knife or made.Most of the time if a person pulls a knife on you and you pull your own knife or made out they will think differently about The situation.

2 small girls with knives against an adult male with a knife. 

 

Do you really think that's a good idea?

 

Now, at least, nobody is hurt or dead.

 

 

Now i am not a Thai basher but why does not the headline say Thai Man robs Family mart. If it  was a farang the headlines would say FOREIGNER robs Family mart at knife point. Always a difference between Thai and farang when reporting the news. Bad farang

If that was the cctv of the event(s) then it was all done by bibs?
