Pattaya armed robbery at luxury house: Investigation focuses on the alleged victims

Thai media 77kaoded reported that investigations continue into the robbery of three million baht at a luxury house in the Pattaya area. 

 

Two Chinese men, at least one of whom was tied up, were found by a driver. One had been forced to open a safe saying that five men had entered his multi-million baht property.

 

A deputy chief of the RTP earlier in the week went to the area to demand that the case be properly investigated by the Nong Prue police.

Now the focus seems to very much be concentrating on the Chinese men themselves whose DNA and fingerprints have been taken and whose business dealings and detailed movements over the last 4-5 years are now under scrutiny. 

 

Yesterday Nong Prue station chief Pol Col Chitdecha Songhong held a meeting in which DNA was top of the agenda.

there you have it.... money and Chinese are a bad mix, drugs/blackmail/money laundering are all called "business" dealings

[sammieuk1]

No mention of biometrics or smart cars have we been breached ????

[KhunBENQ]

Wasn't it obvious from the first moment that here criminals have robbed criminals.

Maybe just "debt collection"?

[Phuketshrew]

BIB got to find out if there is any more money to scam otherwise the case won't be worth pursuing.

Are they examining the septic tank to see if someone dumped on them?

[fangless]

I suspect the Chinese forgot to prefill the brown envelopes and hide them before they emptied the safe.

[anthobkk]

it was 10 million baht few days ago and now "only" 3 million ?? How come ?

[ronaldo0]

Can’t scam a scammer !! Just a higher version of the Europeans last year who were in Koh phangan and samui saying they had been robbed etc and were trying to claim insurance. They were all false claims and they thought the local police would be to stupid to find out the truth . Guess the hours of questioning at the station made them crack the people spent few months in jail before being deported ! ????

I've heard nothing about BMW smart cars for weeks. I think they are on holiday or have Covid.

That's a first... or is this the new normal?

In the real world that would be a given. In 3rd world Thailand the police have to be ordered to do their job. Whether they will or not is still up in the air. The deputy chief has spoken so his role is over. It isn't his role to ensure they act on what he has said. He can't be blamed if the local plod go back to sleep.

Thanks - just as I posted on TVF the other day, may also include on-line gambling!

Quote from Statista:-

"The global online gambling market is anticipated to be valued at more than 92.9 billion U.S. dollars in 2023. The current size of the market is almost 59 billion U.S. dollars, meaning the size is forecast to double in the upcoming years"

The Chinese number for '3' sounds similar to Thai '10' ; bad translating from Chinese to Thai to English in the original version of incident.

Under what law can they demand DNA and fingerprints from the victims?

 

Sounds to me like it was police officers that committed the crime.

Looks like Hoo Flung Dung and Sum Ting Wong may be in deep doo doo. Just maybe they have been living high on the hog with company money and needed a (fairy) story to cover the shortfall. All will be revealed, or not, in due course.

"Only one was tied up."

 

Because the second one can't tie himself up.

 

Even Thai cops worked that one out.
