Police were called to 'Bigger supermarket' on Phangan island just after midnight on September 21 where they found Mr Aphichart Linsuwan, aged 36, the owner of the store, and Ms Saisunee Sukhopan, aged 22, the cashier, in a state of shock.

The cashier said a European, aged between 40 to 45 had come up to the counter, and brandishing a gun ordered her to give him the cash, about 20,000 baht, in the till.

He then fled on a motorbike.

Later police arrested Mr David Cooper, an Englishman aged 48, at the ferry pier. He was found to be in possession of a number of fake bullets.

He was charged with armed robbery but denied the offence.
