Large crowds of shoppers with mobile phones jostled for a vantage point as a 25 year old former university footballer was taken on a gold shop robbery reenactment at a Chonburi mall.

 

Wayu or Jack had been arrested by the Don Hua Lor police following the 196,000 baht robbery of three heavy gold necklaces. 

 

Unfortunately for Jack he dropped his phone in the robbery and there was also clear CCTV footage in the Sunday robbery.

 

Police easily traced him to Chiang Mai bus station and Muang district in the northern Thai city.

 

Two of three necklaces were recovered as well as 73,000 baht from the sale of the third.

 

The suspect had run into debts from online gambling and had had his mother's land repossessed after mortgaging it, reported Sanook

 

More than 20 officers were involved in the reenactment spectacle.

 

The suspect said that he had been milling about in the shopping center for two hours before making the fateful decision to rob the store. 

 

He approached the store and said he wanted to get jewelry for his girlfriend's birthday - then he ran off. 

 

He warned young people not to gamble.

Perhaps a reason not to have casinos here too!

Not a fan of gambling facilitation, takes advantage of people with addictive personalities, and they seem prone to that on this side of the world.

'More than 20 police officers' attended..

for WHAT possible (logical) reason did they need to attend? Forget about performing your duties, or risking the spread of Covid in such a crowded place!

If I was their boss* I would punish at least 17 of them for being there!

 

*of course, that 'boss' would have to have proper police work at heart, and not lazy corruption... but you get what I mean.

Judicial process as entertainment for the masses. Bring on Madame Guillotine and les Tricoteuse.

Can you imagine the moment when he realized he'd dropped his phone: somewhere?

 

I have two adoptive nephews, one who is a great person and who has make a successful life for himself and one, who from the age of 14, has spent more time incarcerated than free.  He is one of the dumbest thieves ever and always gets caught so easily, we suspect he actually feels safer and more at home behind bars. 

He breaks into the same places over and over, using the same methods. The cops barely have to leave their chairs.

One time, he did pretty much what this footballer did, dropping his wallet inside a house he was burgling. Another time, he called a home prior to breaking in to make sure nobody was home....used his own phone.  Cops called his number back and told him to come to the station on his own, saving them the trouble of picking him up.  He did. 

" Hallo, just called to say your wallet/phone has been handed in, can you come and collect''   '' OK i'm on my way'' DOH ! :post-4641-1156694572:

Had his mother's land resposessed?  Man, here in the USA I sadly have seen first hand some people ruin their lives from gambling, lost their business, one old guy even killed himself right in Foxwoods casino.  Sadly, their actions often hurt friends or relatives, destroyed relationships, etc.    Gambling just does not pay.  Some poker players can make money because in the long run the good players do beat the bad players, despite what most people think about poker.  Any other gambling is a long term dead end, or for some a cliff to fall over.

I always thought that public persecution or sentences were deterrents to people to do future crimes.. I certainly thought they were and growing up the idea of jail, prisons, loss of freedom, etc. stuck in my head.   But apparently studies do not show a big correlation of that,

No casinos in Thailand didn't stop this guy, did it?  

 

All that is needed is an internet connection and a computer.

Yeah because us westerners are all such geniuses. A week doesn't seem to go by without some embarrassment of a westerner making the news in Thailand. Just sayin
