webfact Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 CRIME Alleged Swedish robber arrested in Pattaya on drug offences PATTAYA: -- Police have arrested a Swedish man in Pattaya for allegedly having holding drug parties in his rented apartment. Pol Col Kreetha Tankhanarat, the commander of Children and Women Rights Protection and Anti-Human Trafficking Region 2, said Swedish police also confirmed that Bo Peter Soderback, 40, was also wanted in at least two armoured truck robberies in Denmark and Sweden. The arrest followed complaints to Kreetha's division that the Swedish man and his Thai girlfriend often play loud music late at night and allegedly held drug parties often. Police found equipment for inhaling 'ice" or crystal methamphetamine hydrochloride in Soderback's room. The two tested positive for drugs Kreetha said. Kreetha quoted Swedish police as saying that Soderback was suspected of taking part in a armoured truck robbery in Denmark in 2008. The robbers made off with more than Bt300 million. He was also suspected of taking part in the robbery from Swedish firm G4s firm, using a helicopter and making off with hundreds of millions of baht in cash. Soderback admitted that he had been living in Pattaya for over a year. He was charged with using drugs, holding fake passports and entering the kingdom without permission and proper travel documents. -- The Nation 2012-05-21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petercool Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 If ever - for whatever reason - I was on the run from police in any country, I think I would have the sense to keep low. I certainly would not be having loud parties that upset any neighbours nor get involved with drugs with people that have a good chance to be already on the police radar.

tragickingdom Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 He is a real dumb ass, never heard of laying low. Anyhow equipment for smoking ice could be found on any street corner, sold in the open. So maybe the police could arrest the vendors too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arkady Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 So, if he hadn't played his music too loud at night, he could have lived out a happy life in Thailand on the fruits of his crimes and never been disturbed by the BiB who must have been well aware that he was there following his arrest in 2006.

petercool Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 No-one can know for certain that local police had any idea he was back. In checking records once apprehended, past issues would show up but the newspaper report gives no indication of how and on what passport he returned here. It's an immigration issue at airports and notifications between various authorities can not be assumed either, even he did return on his original passport and name. The key known facts are that he slipped under the radar and is now apprehended by being none too bright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was also confirmed that Mr. Soderback had been arrested for visa overstay in Pattaya back in 2006 and was deported as a result. The Swedish authorities also confirmed to Region 2 Police that Mr. Soderback has an extensive criminal history in Sweden and previous convictions relating to bank robberies.
