A gunman stormed a gold shop in Pathum Thani’s Lam Luk Ka district, making off with gold jewellery weighing 13 baht before fleeing on a motorcycle. Authorities are now conducting an intensive manhunt to track down the suspect.

 

At around 12:30 on 14 March, officers from Khu Khot Police Station responded to reports of a robbery at a gold shop located on Saiwai Pracharat Road in Lat Sawai Subdistrict. The one-unit shop, situated along the roadside, was staffed by two female employees, both left shaken by the ordeal.

 

According to Ms. Supharak, a counter clerk, the suspect, a tall, young male with a central Thai accent, approached the store wearing a full-face motorcycle helmet, a blue jacket over a light blue shirt, jeans, and blue sneakers. He arrived on a motorbike and claimed to be delivering documents. When she opened the automatic door, he drew a black handgun and ordered her to hand over gold jewellery, threatening to shoot if she refused.

 

When she hesitated, the suspect took matters into his own hands, reaching into a drawer and grabbing gold necklaces and bars before making a swift getaway on his white Honda scooter.

Police Colonel Kantaphon Wanna, the station’s superintendent, confirmed that the stolen items included 12 baht of gold necklaces and 1 baht of gold bars, which belonged to customers who had left them for safekeeping.

 

Authorities are now analysing CCTV footage to trace the suspect’s escape route and identify his whereabouts.
