Commando police in Bangkok finally caught up with a cashier who skipped bail after being sentence to 20 years for bank fraud.

 

Jiras Thanathathip, also known as Sasiphachat Praphasawat, 44, was arrested at a condominium in the Ramkhamhaeng area of the Thai capital, reported INN yesterday.

 

Between January 2010 and August 2013 while working in the finance section of a luxury car dealership in the Ram Inthra area she put in 83 fake withdrawal slips.

 

She conspired with others to defraud a bank of 16 million baht.

 

When the fraud came to light she was taken to court. The court handed down a 20 year sentence with no suspension but she failed to turn up to the reading of the judgment.

No, she skipped the bail she was granted between conviction and sentencing.

Yer,  but didn't they announced the sentence before she returned to the court for the reading.....?

Commando police used for catching cashier who skipped bail. 

 

How about using the Commandos for catching Boss (redbull). 

 

Seems an overkill, to catch a cashier.
