Police are searching for two armed robbers who shot a homeowner and stole gold necklaces and a mobile phone from his family members at a house in the Ramkamhaeng neighbourhood of Bangkok. The crime was committed yesterday, January 7, and the loss totalled 264,000 baht.

 

Wang Thong Lang Police Station officers were alerted to the shooting and robbery at a house in Soi Ramkamhaeng 39 Section 25 at 3am yesterday. Arriving at the scene, officers discovered an injured Thai man with a gunshot wound to his left leg, along with two other victims who had been relieved of 235,000 baht worth of gold necklaces and a 29,000 baht iPhone 13 Pro Max by the assailants.

 

The victims informed officers that the robbery took place after their return from a neighbour’s birthday celebration. Two armed robbers parked their motorcycles and proceeded directly to their residence.

The robbers shot one male victim and coerced the other two into surrendering their belongings. Channel 7 reported that the theft seemed suspicious as the victims refrained from providing detailed information about the incident to the police.

So who called the cops, seems it was the rescue services, it also seems the stolen gold was ill-gotten gains. Nice coordinating clothes and bag 

Two armed robbers, so not amputees then.
