Evidence seized during the arrest includes two Apple mobile phones (iPhone 14 and iPhone 15 models), an Audemars Piguet watch, a Rolex watch, an ADCD credit card, and 24,000 baht in cash, totaling over 3 million baht in value.

 

The incident occurred on July 12, 2024, at 4:50 a.m., when the victim socialized with the perpetrators at a residence in Phra Khanong Subdistrict, Khlong Toei District, Bangkok.

 

During the encounter, the victim was threatened, physically assaulted, and restrained with rope and tape inside a room. Prompt investigation by law enforcement led to the identification of the suspects and their subsequent arrest with the recovered evidence.

 

The suspects have denied the allegations and await legal proceedings. However, investigations reveal that this was their first criminal offense and that none of them were employed at the time of the incident.

 

They face charges including armed robbery, assault causing physical or mental harm, coercion using weapons, unlawful confinement, extortion, and illegal possession of weapons in public areas. The case will proceed under the supervision of investigating officers for further legal action.

Five foreign nationals have been arrested for allegedly robbing and assaulting a British cryptocurrency trader in Bangkok, tying him up and inflicting serious injuries. The suspects deny the charges and have requested to give their testimony in court.

 

Police Colonel Wachirakorn Wongboon from Khlong Tan Police Station yesterday, July 14, led a team to apprehend five suspects involved in the robbery of the British trader.

 

The suspects include Abdullahi Ahmed Saney Mohamed from Denmark, Shafiq Sumya and Ahmed Saeed Yasin from England, Hussein Mohamed Hassan Sheekh from England, and an unidentified foreign woman.

 

Seized items included two Apple iPhones, luxury watches from Audemars Piguet and Rolex, one ADCD credit card, and 24,000 baht in cash. The total value of the seized items exceeds 3 million baht, believed to have been stolen from the British man.

The incident occurred previously on July 12 around 4.50am when the victim joined the five suspects, three men and two women, at a mansion in Phra Khanong, Khlong Toei District, Bangkok. The victim was then threatened, physically assaulted with punches and a stun gun, and tied up with ropes and tape.

 

Police investigated and identified the suspects, leading to their arrest along with the seized items. During the interrogation, the suspects denied the allegations and opted to present their case in court. Investigations revealed that the suspects were unemployed and had committed the crime for the first time.

 

The initial charges filed include armed robbery, causing bodily or mental harm, coercion involving five or more people using weapons to force someone to act, refrain from acting, or comply due to fear of danger to life, body, liberty, reputation, or property.

 

Additional charges involve unlawful detention, armed extortion, misappropriation of documents, and carrying weapons in public without a valid reason. The suspects were handed over to the investigators for further legal proceedings, reported KhaoSod.

Are they still receiving their benefits/dole payments ? Why is Thailand the place to commit these crimes ? Why not do it in the UK there must be crypto traders there ?

Exactly.

Us real Brits, with real British names never cause any trouble at home or abroad.

 

Deport them to Australia like we did in the good old days.

Yes, I think he must be related to the 12th Century Viking King .... King Abdullah III?

I was hoping to see 1 British or danish name

When are the dinosaurs on here going to realise that names don't determine nationality.
Anyone would think that people with "real" English names simply don't commit crime here.

Obviously making reference to their ethnicity as if that's a factor.

What was the filthy white British paedophile, Richard Burrows, who was deported back to the UK after hiding out here for 30 years? Was he fleeing persecution?

 

What about the white British "teacher", David Brown, who fainted upon being arrested earlier this year for sexually assaulting several of his 4-7 year old pupils while working at an international school?

Is their Britishness authentic enough for you??
Are their names British enough for you??
Should we regard all white males here as paedophiles because of the actions of a few?

You people and your bigotry disgust me. 
You love to deflect from the filth that ostensibly "real" British are up to in this country

Nice post, completely off topic if you are replying to me.

 

I made no reference to ethnicity, so please take your 'disgust' somewhere.

[NativeBob]

So anyone with Binance account can call himself "crypto trader"? Please!

 

Btw, there are so many p2p fraudsters and the only way to get your money back is exactly ^^^^ one.

there was a case with smart-a$$ from Romania cheated over p2p for almost $16K. Victim had to hire an enforcer to get his money back. But got away just fine.
May 2024, Northern Bangkok.

There's something missing here, so did they just beat the $hit out of him, nick all his stuff and then set him free with the words, "don't tell the cops"?

Are those females the victims? If they need a bed to rest their heads for the night I can help. And a warm meal in their bellies.
