Two armed robbers remain at large after stealing gold bracelets worth at least 1.2 million baht from a gold shop in a Lotus’s supermarket on Number 41 Road in the Chaiya district of the southern province of Surat Thani.

 

Chaiya Police Station officers were alerted to the gold robbery at the Yaowarat Krungthep gold shop in the Lotus’s at around 7pm on Saturday, January 20, and rushed to investigate the scene. The frightened shop workers told police that the thieves stole two trays of gold bracelets weighing at least 515 grammes, worth at about1.2 million baht.

 

Officers checked the CCTV camera and spotted two robbers dressed in all black. The first man covered his head with a hooded sweatshirt and another man was wearing a face mask and a cap to hide his identity. The first robber, with a gun in his hand, leapt over the shop counter to grab the bracelets.

 

Another robber stood outside the shop with two guns in his hands, threatening shop assistants and shoppers to stay away. After stealing the booty, the two men ran to their motorbike parked outside the shopping centre and fled.

give it a couple of days and the cops will make an arrest .... it's only a matter of time.

The cops will check all CCTV in the area to see which way the robbers went. The cops will check the logos and prints on the robbers cap and black shirts.
