Police aided by a contingent of Chonburi provincial police and tourist police went to in the Nong Prue area at 9 pm last night after a Chinese man was held up at gunpoint in a luxury home. 

 

Police were tight lipped about what happened and a cordon was set up to stop reporters. 

 

But they said that the Chinese man was a "tourist" and that five men had held him up at gunpoint and stolen more than 10 million baht from a safe. 

 

The house was also ransacked. 

 

The Chinese man and his group of friends were working with interpreters to help police get to the bottom of what happened.

It was not clear as yet whether the robbers were compatriots of the men or Thais. 

 

CCTV is being examined to see how they got into the estate. 

 

Pattaya Update News described it as a billion baht development with 30 million baht value houses built on a hillside.

Just think about the endless list of legal activities, that generate this amount of cash money that you don't want to deposit into a bank account.

Some really nice houses on that estate. 

Tourist? 30 million baht villa? 10 million in a safe?

Yep, I am sure all this was correct. The poor guy got stuck during the pandemic and while living on amnesty he just took out 10 million baht on his card and put it in his "rented" safe. ????????????????

If e stop and think about that summary, then we all understand why the police are very tight lipped. ????????????

Be interesting to find out if the thieves were local or Chinese. Never ever let people know what valuables you have, keep a low profile and beware who you have round your home. These jobs always have inside information.

Yeah, I'd check the bank teller who asked for his home address for security reasons first

Damn !!!!    just like the stock market.   when I'm ready to make my move the opportunity has

already passed.

Why would a Chinese "tourist" be bringing 10 million baht to Pattaya? The mind boggles!

I wonder how the robbers knew that the Chinese had all that money in his home.

Where did it say that it was brought into the country in cash?  Many countries have banking systems now, you know.
