A 33-year-old contract teacher has been arrested after attempting to rob a gold shop inside a popular shopping mall in Ubon Ratchathani, making off with gold jewellery worth over 1.1 million baht.

 

The incident occurred at approximately 14:55 on 15 July at a branch of Yaowarat Bangkok Gold Shop, located in a Big C shopping centre in Siwichian subdistrict, Nam Yuen district. Police were alerted to the robbery and quickly responded, with investigative teams from Nam Yuen Police Station arriving on the scene.

 

 

The suspect, identified as Mr Anusorn, a temporary teacher at a school in Dom Pradit subdistrict, was apprehended on the spot by alert mall staff. He was found in possession of approximately 22 baht-weight of gold jewellery, with a value of 1,168,210 baht.

 

At the time of the robbery, Mr Anusorn was dressed in a long-sleeved black shirt, dark brown jeans, trainers, gloves and a full-face red motorcycle helmet to conceal his identity. Witnesses reported that he acted alone and attempted to flee the scene before being tackled and detained by security personnel.

 

During initial questioning, the suspect confessed to the crime, stating he was driven by financial distress. He admitted to struggling with debts from online gambling and a lack of sufficient income to meet his daily expenses.

 

Police escorted Mr Anusorn back to the scene to conduct a crime re-enactment, a common procedure in criminal investigations, before formally charging him with theft.

 

Authorities used the incident as an opportunity to remind mall security teams and gold shop operators to remain vigilant. They urged increased scrutiny of individuals wearing concealing clothing or acting suspiciously and stressed the importance of following security protocols to prevent similar incidents in the future.

Why is his helmet still on after they caught him.

His identity/face should not be covered up.
