Chonburi – A gold snatcher stole gold items with an estimated worth of more than 200,000 baht from a gold shop in a shopping mall in the Panat Nikhom district yesterday (February 2nd).

 

The Panat Nikhom Police was notified of the incident at a gold shop in a shopping mall in the Goot-Ngao sub-district. This came just days after a similar incident in Sri Racha that we reported on here at TPN media below.

 

Law enforcement arrived at the gold shop to find the staffer on duty, Ms. Sunitta Imsuwanruethai, who told Panat Nikhom police, “A thin male suspect wearing a blue shirt, aged around 30- 40, posed as a customer initially and asked to see gold items.”

Is that number rounded to next hundred thousands??

With the amount of CCTV these days , only a complete idiot would do this. Either someone is in desperate debt to a shark or someone is about to get arrested at their wedding for putting a dodgy sinsod forwards

He will be found soon , usually at his mothers ,it's surprising

how fast they capture these  Napoleons  of crime.

When you quote the staffer, then you need to write what she said. There isn't a chance in hell that she refered to him as a "suspect"

A thin male or man maybe

I suspect she spoke in Thai and quoting that here would not be much use to many. 

I await the final sum of recovered gold after Plod has divvied it out.

Desperate.  Drug addiction, gambling debts, fear of losing a relationship etc.  

 

Maybe his Thai girlfriend is not earning as much in a "restaurant" as she used to earn in a bar.  ????
