RTP: Trust us, we will find inhuman gold shop robber - and don't copy him

The RTP spokesman has urged the public to trust the capabilities of the police in the hunt for the armed robber who killed three and injured four on Thursday. 

 

As the fourth day came since extreme violence erupted at the Aurora gold shop in Robinson's at Lopburi, Pol Col Krissana Pattanacharoen urged the public to have faith in the force. 

 

Police and soldiers are working on the case 24 hours a day. It has shocked Thailand mainly because of the violence used and the unusual actions of the robber. 

 

Daily News reported that investigations continued to center around the movements of the robber after the heist that saw him steal 500,000 worth of gold and shoot a toddler, security guard and one other person in cold blood.

But CCTV is inconclusive about his getaway route, accomplished on a red and white Fino motorcycle. The appearance of the robber is being compared to others seen throughout the province.

 

Investigators are also concentrating their efforts on tracking down the culprit through the unusual silencer used. This appeared to be a Thai made item perhaps only available in Lopburi, Chonburi and Bangkok, suggested the media. 

 

Pol Col Krissana urged the public to concentrate on providing help with tips. 

 

National police chief Pol Gen Chakthip Chaijinda has criticised people - mainly youth - on social media who have appeared on social media imitating the robber in similar clothing. 

 

Pol Col Krissana said such aping of the robber was inappropriate and dangerous and could hinder the investigation. It should stop. 

 

He remained tight lipped regarding details saying that revealing too much could be detrimental to the investigation. He asked the public to have trust in the force to bring the robber to justice quickly. 

 

The Thai media have referred to the robber in terms that indicate public revulsion about his inhumanity.

The Police and trust do not match here....however in this instance shooting to kill is justified

[holy cow cm]

Just like they caught the perps who kicked the holy daisies out of activist Ja New. They will find him or them only if it fits the powers that be and what the circumstances surrounding it if was pre-ordered or a plain solo act.

[Just1Voice]

They will find, and kill, SOMEBODY, then declare the case closed, you can bet on that.  Now, whether it's the actual perp is another story.

I believe Thanathorn is number 1 suspect. 

[ezzra]

Somehow i'm sure there is no shortage of volunteers to what is no doubt going to be an execution style 'apprehension'...

[JemJem]

I have a bad feeling that it won't be easy to find this sickening murderer.

 

By the way, this kind of thing really makes me hate the social media. It really often brings the worst in many people everywhere :
 

''National police chief Pol Gen Chakthip Chaijinda has criticised people - mainly youth - on social media who have appeared on social media imitating the robber in similar clothing.''

 

[roquefort]

Trust me, I'm a Thai policeman ????????

[RichardColeman]

Trust us ! Say the men giving bail to people on Murder charges ! Nah.

[atyclb]

what really needs to be done is base the reward on the value of stolen gold so it makes it worthwile for someone to rat out the perp.

While I agree with the gist of what you're saying.. as I also made a comment on that very subject.

But the BiB dd get them in front of a judge.... he's the one who granted bail!

[sammieuk1]

Have they narrowed it down to under 25 million suspects yet ????

I believe that the reward already exceeds 600,000 Baht, the value stolen was reported as 500,000 Baht, so you have your wish already. ???? 

 

[rwill]

If they don't catch this person I bet he does it again. 

 

[Ajarnbrian]

Hope this violent criminal is found soon, and alive. Important to find out if he acted alone or with support. 

[Mick501]

They are cunningly waiting for him to return to the store to sell the gold back.   Tried and true.

[448glb]

I can’t believe they haven’t caught him yet. This wasn’t a robbery, it was a hit. One of the employees was shot 4 times. Dig into her background and you will find out who had motive.

They prefer somebody from Myamar....as usual.

[djayz]

Because they genuinely want to do their jobs and catch this criminal or because he knocked off the wrong jeweller's? I'd love to know the answer to that question, it's been on my mind for days.

I though they were the preferred escape goats for Koh Tao only.

Nah! The Thai Police will probably invite him in for a chat and discuss his bail application over a bag of gold jewelry.

[dallen52]

Sadly makes a mockery of the protection money the gold shops are reportedly paying to the BIB.

This time with grave results...

Black hoodie and black gloves...

Could be half the younger population...

The shotgun may be a give away...?

 

Sad, very sad.

Locals are saying that if he is military, the army might close ranks to hinder investigations that might cause loss of face to the army, and it would be a massive loss of face no doubt of that.

Exactly my thoughts on the matter
