Amazing Thailand: "Food Panda" guy who robbed gold shop turns out to be a POLICEMAN

[webfact]

Picture: Daily News

 

Daily News reported that the person who robbed a gold shop in Pak Chong, Nakhon Ratchasima in Thailand's north east, dressed in Food Panda delivery clothes is in fact a police corporal.

 

The man had gone into the Petch Thong Yaowarat gold shop in Big C and shot the owner who resisted. He then made off with 126 baht weight of gold worth 3.5 million baht on a motorcycle.

 

ASEAN NOW earlier reported the initial details that were scanty and resulted in much conjecture.

 

Sources at the police station told the media that following the robbery when officers looked at CCTV they thought it might be a colleague.

 

It looked like his body shape and the walking style looked resembled him.

 

Twenty five year old police corporal Anucha Bun-arak was called in and soon admitted it was him dressed in balaclava, sun glasses and pink Food Panda clothes. 

 

The media said the police were in the process of finding the loot and the getaway motorcycle earlier reported as a Honda Wave 110i.

 

They had pictures of a gold chain that appeared to have been discarded in a pot containing a plant and water. 

 

The media went with the expression "charming" about the case, an expression used by some English speakers to refer to something that is anything but.

 

They also had a picture of the shot male victim who is the owner of the store.

When your days of collecting money and brown envelopes ends because of a pandemic, you need to find an alternative way to pay for your food, and mia noi.......

My wife  saw this on the news last night and straight away said he was a policeman ! I said I thought not there's no way to tell dressed in the pink panda suit  but she was right..she's often right ????

[grandpa]

I love the juxtaposition of this article with the one above.  Doesn't really help with the issue of confidence to trust the police force or give me a warm fuzzy feeling.  They are all bent.

 

[Ralf001]

Teacher ' Can anyone put charming in a sentence ?  little boy ' my sister is charming .

Very good says teacher now can anyone put charming in a sentence twice ?

A little girl ' I have 2 sisters and they are both charming.'

Hmm says teacher , what about 3 times in a sentence.

Their is no confidence in them to maintain. and as for faith and trust the less said about that the better.

[fanof3d]

Don't you just love it when all you have to do is read the title of an article and start laughing? Made my day.

[brommers]

Since when did the RTP serve the people? This country has always been a police state and is now totally run by corrupt police and military. Sadly most people just shrug & say "what can we do" instead of taking to the streets in mass action.

Start at the top and work down. Unfortunately Thais can't see beyond tomorrow so, to them, it is never worth starting.

Keystone cops break out of lockdown! maybe this has been caused by orders not to fine the public for not wearing helmets, as they no have money, thus creating a severe shortage of lunch funds .

 

[sniggie]

It can't be him. Nobody's pointing. Or perhaps they don't point at mates.

 

Looking forward to tomorrow's laugh.  It has to go some to beat this one!

[Dogmatix]

A very cruel guy.  I used to know a young Thai Chinese guy who ran a gold shop in Samut Prakarn with his sister.  The reason why he ran the gold shop at a young age was because his father had been murdered by a robber in the shop in this way.  The family just continued because the gold shop was a good living and and they didn't know what other business to do.  But you never know when you or a family member or staff will get murdered or maimed by a <deleted> like this bent cop.

 

I guess he will get a light sentence due to his stellar police service.

Looking forward to the Thai remake of the Italian Job movie, where the Mini Coopers are replaced by Honda Wave 110i's .... ????

[PEE TEE]

[Smokey and the Bandit]

Well, who would have thought it??? A cop who is a criminal, say it ain't so!!!

[tandor]

...hmmm..not one of you mentioned how the shop attendant is fairing after having been shot...I hope he is ok.

[ronster]

This explains why lazada sells all these type of outfits ! ????????????????

[JeffersLos]

So I guess he'll be back to work tomorrow morning, only now tasked with delivering all the other cop's lunches.

The whole RTP set-up is to self serve, the whole force is as bent as a nine bob note.
