A foreign family, currently residing in Phuket, experienced a shocking robbery of their villa in Chalong, raising serious safety concerns. The audacious theft occurred while the family of four, including two children, were present in the house, and the thief managed to escape with stolen goods worth over 50,000 baht.

 

The family, of Russian origin, reported the invasive villa robbery to Chalong Police Station on Thursday. The detailed report, given by Ilya P, recounted how an unknown individual had entered the family’s rented villa around 10.20pm the previous night. The intruder spent approximately ten minutes rummaging through the family’s belongings in search of valuables before leaving unnoticed.

 

The villa’s CCTV system captured the robbery incident. However, due to the date settings on the camera being off, the recording displays an inaccurate date.

 

The stolen items listed in Ilya’s complaint included his passport, credit cards, and Thai driver’s license; a golden ring valued at 5,000 baht; a wallet and a purse totalling 19,000 baht; motorcycle keys; along with 33,700 baht in cash.

Robbery: act of extorting valuables from the victims by force using direct violence or treat of inflicting direct violence

 

Theft: act of taking another person's property or services without that person's permission or consent with the intent to deprive the rightful owner of it.

 

I would have been a robbery only if the guy had went into the house blazing a gun or machete in front of the tenants, demanding money and stuffs or else...
