Sri Racha police were notified yesterday, June 16th, about a gold-snatching report at one shopping center in the Sri Racha subdistrict of Sri Racha, Chonburi. The thief reportedly snatched a gold necklace weighing three baht. 

 

The gold shop clerk was still startled after the incident where one man pretended to try on a three-baht-weigh gold necklace and fled the shop, according to reports. However, he was shortly tackled by nearby pedestrians and the mall security guard before the police arrived.

No it is the weight. Worth approx 90,000 baht.

He should have taken one baht of gold only.
Probably the 3 baht were to heavy and he couldn't run fast enough.

He reportedly to stolen the necklace to sell it and use the proceeds to gamble online.

According to reports, certain pedestrians, however, were unsatisfied with the Sri Racha police’s reaction time as the police station was only 300 meters away from the mall, plus there was a police booth at the mall’s entrance. 

You would think that would be a deterrent. Useless to a man. ????

Let me guess; he was instructed and trained to commit the crime by 'a foreigner from across the border'?? ????

He should have gone to Pattaya for easier pickings, e.g. Indian tourists... ????
