On the evening of December 1, Pattaya police, led by Pol. Col. Navin Teerawit, Superintendent of Pattaya Police Station, and Pol. Lt. Col. Sirachart Noothet, Deputy Superintendent of Operations, set up a task force of over 30 officers and community police volunteers to cordon off a wooded area in Soi Land Department, Pattaya, Nong Prue Subdistrict, Bang Lamung District, Chonburi Province. Their mission: to track down a suspect involved in a daring gold ring theft.

 

The incident was reported to the police at approximately 18:30.  According to the report, the perpetrator, a Thai male of medium build, with a tan complexion, wearing a black and red long-sleeved jacket and black trousers, entered the “Golden 99 Yaowarat Gold” shop on the first floor of Tukcom Pattaya Mall. Pretending to inquire about purchasing a gold ring, the suspect requested to see a gold ring weighing one baht, valued at about 45,000 baht.

 

As soon as the shop staff handed him the ring, the suspect fled the scene without warning, prompting immediate police action.

 

Authorities swiftly organised a large-scale operation, focusing their search on the wooded area near the crime scene, but were not able to locate the thief, as the search continues.

These places should have a switch that locks the doors if such a thing happens.

They need doors to enter these places. At least they would have a chance at locking it quickly, but no chance with roller doors and hardly any space between the gold and the exit.
