These robberies involving low-level bank security officers and ATM technicians crop up with regularity.

And they always get caught.

You would think that if they have had the wherewithal to land the job in the first place, they would know that committing such a dumbass robbery would lead them to be caught and sentenced to a lengthy jail sentence.

steal a few million and get 30 years. Steal a few billion and get live in the UK. No justice.

So right......Won't be long before they issue him a UK Passport and all the trimmings!! Somewhat better than this guy can expect!

This pretty well compounds what i ,in that a lot of thais commit crime with no thought for the consequences,.

What is the name of the Police Chief of the Tourist Police in Pattaya ??? there are that many different Police names in all the different stories on incidents , it is hard to figure.

Steals 2.25 mill mid-August - comes to Patters and rents a basic apartment (say 100k for rent/deposit etc)

Ten days later he's caught and there's 1 mill left.

Over a million in ten days. He's had a good party - or the BiB have one coming.

Not the brightest bulb in the chandelier. As inept as the BIB are, they really don't have the most challenging theives to catch.

Jail in Thailand or having to live in England - difficult choice
