Suspect easily gets 600,000 baht in Chonburi bank robbery

[Jonathan Fairfield]

 

A suspect easily got 600,000 baht after robbing a bank in Phan Thong yesterday (November 12th).

 

The Phan Thong Police was notified of the incident in the afternoon at a bank in the Baan Gao sub-district.

 

One of the bank staffers told police the suspect entered the bank normally like other customers. He wrote on a paper that he handed to a teller saying ‘Do not talk to anyone. I have a gun. Give me four million baht. If you talk to anyone you will die.’

 

The bank staffer grabbed some money, about 600,000 baht, before giving it to the suspect.

 

The suspect put the money into his bag without counting the cash before going out as normal within five minutes.

Another lesson : always count your money when leaving the bank...you simply cannot trust these tellers to give you the right amount

He might be back for the rest , seems he needed the 4 Million

to pay off debts, buy something. otherwise he would just say

give me all your money , like other bank robbers do........????

Funnily enough, most armed bank robbers are not known to loiter at the counter and count the cash they are nicking. 

 

Being Thailand, it would not surprise me if the muppet signed his name to the robbery note - the equivalent of leaving your car number plate at the scene of the accident when you do a runner.

Doesn't matter... another customer had just brought the money in, and she hadn't processed the deposit slip yet!

 

Look for some guy living it large in town.....

he still needs to get another 3,400,000 from somewhere .....   I expect news of another bank robbery in the coming days,  600k won't appease the sharks for too long

Especially if it’s in 20 baht notes

The PM? Wow!

This is classic.  ????????????

 

The bank security guard Mr. Phon Khempet told police, “I did not realize the man was a robber as the suspect was so calm and acting like a normal customer. I even opened the door for him when he went out.”

I knew there is a cashier's fee in Thailand, but wouldn't think it is 3.4 million of a 4 million "withdrawal" request!

Did he say the teller only gave him 500k?  ????
