snoop1130 Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Daylight robbery: Bangkok bank heist nets unknown amount A Bangkok Bank branch in the capital’s Thung Khru district was robbed on Wednesday afternoon (January 22), the lone perpetrator wielding a pistol snatched from a security guard. Thung Khru police got the call at about 2pm and were soon at the bank inside a Tesco Lotus on Soi Pracha Uthit 58. The security guard said the robber used his .38 pistol while ordering tellers to hand over an as-yet-unverified amount of cash, and then fled on a black Yamaha Fino motorcycle with no licence plate. Witnesses described the suspect as 155-160 centimetres tall, slim and wearing a dark jacket, jeans and sneakers, black gloves, a purple motorcycle helmet and a blue backpack.

Popular Post CharlieH Posted January 22, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 22, 2020 Why dont they instruct the mall security to stop anyone wearing helmets from entering the premises. Easy to implement, and could prevent a lot of these instances. 16 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

natway09 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 And by the sound of these posters above other countries do not have thefts. The chances of getting away with it are very remote in Thailand wheras for example in Oz the last 9 bank robbers 7 unsolved Sadly, a sign of the times everywhere 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeorgeCross Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 i'm surprised this doesn't happen more often and with greater precision and planning i was once in a bank here down south and i swear there must have been 100M baht in 1000baht bundles on a table behind the counter (approx half meter cube of money) - the only security was a 9 stone 60 year old guard picking his nose in the carpark. crazy.

There's absolutely no security measures in any of the banks here. If this was the US the banks would be robbed hundreds of times every day with the lack of security measures.
