PHUKET: A 71-year-old gold shop owner suffered head injuries when he was beaten heavily on the head by a piece of wood brandished by a robber in his home in Phuket Town last night (Oct 23).

 

Police were notified of the attack at about 11:30pm, said Phuket City Police Chief Col Theerawat Liamsuwan.

 

The attack occurred at the Thong Thaweechai gold shop on Ranong Rd in Phuket Town, where husband-and-wife shop owners Wangdee Inthawong, 71, and Puangpen Sakkasemkrit, 65, lived upstairs, he said.

The couple were asleep in the bedroom on the second floor when they were woken by the robber, who threatened them and told the husband to open the safe on the ground floor.

Mr Wangdee refused and a fight ensued, during which the robber beat Mr Wangdee repeatedly with a piece of wood.

 

The robber then went downstairs and stole several items of gold that were not in the safe, and fled ...

 

Lucky to still be alive .

I do hope the CCTV was left switched on.

Here we go again, all the good doers come out and say "it happens all over the world"

Yep and in most countries the perpetrator gets his head blown off, or the UAE they loose the use of there hands and quite rightly so

as they continue to crush the economy with restrictions

Yes, even people with low paying jobs are asked to do more and more, as the price of fuel and food goes up and up.

The shotgun is more likely to be seized by the perp and used on THEM.

That is the story in the US, I have read. The malefactor comes already prepared for mayhem, while the average victim does not have immediate response training.
