Thai police announced the arrest of 20 year old Chaiwuth Udommala from Taling Chan, Bangkok, who was picked up at Busarakham Place in Samut Prakan.

 

He had been named in warrants for armed robbery at night using a conveyance and snatch theft issued in Chachoensao and Nonthaburi respectively.

 

The first case arose on April 12th at a Mini Big C store in Bang Pakong where a man had arrived on a motorcycle and paid 70 baht for some cigarettes.

 

When the cashier opened the till he demanded the contents at knifepoint. The cashier refused but he grabbed 4,400 baht regardless.

Then on 16th May what was believed to be the same man went to the Mini Big C in Bang Yai, Nonthaburi where he said he wanted to buy a lighter. Here he grabbed 1,374 baht from the till. 

 

The suspect admitted everything saying he needed money for online gambling. He had got rid of his motorcycle but there was plenty of clothes and footwear evidence.

 

Siam Rath mentioned the names of almost 20 police who took part in one way or another in the arrest.

only 20yrs old and needed money for online gambling ( I don't believe this comment ) 

I suspect he would just be using the cash for smokes, beer and food everyday.
