Hunt on for woman after botched bank robbery in Prachuap Khiri Khan

 

Picture: Talay Hua Hin

 

Media in Prachuap Khiri Khan reported that a female tomboy held up the BAAC bank in downtown Prachuap Khiri Khan yesterday.

 

She was brandishing a gun after arriving in the branch next to the town hall dressed in black with a black full face helmet.

 

A picture published by local journalist Kulsawek Sawekwannakorn showed her eyes. 

 

Bank staffer Janya Jannoi, 40, said that the woman came in at lunchtime while about five people were waiting and waved a gun at her.

She shouted: "Don't mess with me if you're not involved".

 

She demanded money be put in a bag but Janya ran for it.

 

At that moment someone outside coming to do their "Rao Chana" application shouted that the police were coming.

 

This spooked the robber who was in the bank less than a minute.

 

She ran off then stole a Honda bike from a 61 year old woman next to the PTT gas station 100 meters away and rode off along the Suan Son - Ao Noi Road.

Muang Prachuap Khiri Khan police found a motorcycle in the area of the Fong Beer Restaurant in Pak Klong Bang Nang Rom.

 

The robber apparently fled into the woods while station chief Pol Col Samer Yusamran ordered the area surrounded. 

 

The Bank of Agriculture and Agricultural Cooperatives was shut as forensic teams pored over the evidence.

 

Nothing was stolen in the attempted heist at 12.30 pm.

 

UPDATE  - The headline of this post incorrectly said the suspect had been arrested.

I'm all for employment equality but, really, some jobs should be left to male morons.

Dumb as dog <deleted> trying to rob a bank when it's full of customers. No getaway plan or vehicle either. A pair of sunglasses would have hidden her eyes, but at least she had a covid mask on ....

"forensic teams pored over the evidence"....2 minutes of CCTV film

'ran for it'   I'm guessing that doesn't mean Janya (bank staff) ran to get a bigger bag, but away from the counter?

Later the police will claim to be on her trail, after the body of a dead bear and an elephant were found.

Excellent customer service - staff abandoning the customers !

I'm having a problem with the op photo... is that girl giving an impersonation of the Tom running away?

What can one say? Robbing a bank has got to be one of the riskiest and lowest percentage crimes out there. Dumb and dumber.

 

Darwin was indeed correct.

Guessing she didn't have the balls to do it right.

for those you don't know, a tomboy is basically a lesbian behaving and dressing like a boy. if i was the bank staffer, i'd have said " you could have fooled me, madam!"

No. She just rode her scooter all the way from Chiang Mai.

While I was waiting to pay my home loan yesterday, one guy collected over 4M bht, and another walked with 2.5M.

The money was counted out in front of me and put into envelopes.

 

If I were a bank robber, i'd just follow one of the big withdrawers out and mug them at their car/mc.

I am of course not advocating committing crime here, but that act would offer a far higher percentage chance of success. If done properly. Honestly, I think white collar crime is the way to go. Hacking, and cyber stuff. Banking and insurance companies. Likely the easiest to get away with, and since they barely prosecute white collar crime in America, I would do it on USA soil. If caught, likely would only result in a 6 month sentence, in a country club prison, for a first time offender, in the US.
