Popular Post Andycoops Posted September 28, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 28, 2022 RiP to the 3 men and their families. However, these vans drive at crazy speeds along the roads and I'm surprised accidents involving this type of vehicle doesn't happen more often. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwill Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 (edited) From the linked article: "The money-filled safe was moved to the Mapprachan Highway police station for safety. Pol. Lt. Col. Nakhak Siriphan told The Pattaya News that he would notify the company later to retrieve the safe." Why wait to notify them? As a motter of fact shouldn't they have been notified before they took safe? Edited September 29, 2022 by rwill 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Postmaster Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 It is a mistake to indicate the amount of money cash being carried. In Europe, at least in England, the press are instructed to publish that an unknown amount of cash was being carried. The same applies with ATM robberies. Full details encourage further attacks.

PETERTHEEATER Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 I should imagine that, when the vehicle came to a sudden stop, the armoured safe kept going........ How did the BiB know how much cash it contained? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did the BiB know how much cash it contained? Thai news reported it as being "up to ten million" - maybe that's their starting balance to go out topping up ATMs, depends how far into the run they were as to how much in the safe - they'd also be collecting from the deposit part of each ATM. As you mention, police wouldn't know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
