Rimmer Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Ex Pat Homeowner bound and gagged during robbery PATTAYA:--Armed robbery at Horseshoe Point home results in terror and theft.Horse shoe point, far from the light of Pattaya city centre, is a quiet, respectable neighbourhood where retired Ex Pats live alongside local nationals in peaceful harmony. Adjacent to lake Maprachan, the area is rarely the scene of violent household crime, but this weekend saw a violent house robbery.Two armed men climbed a security wall to enter a property in Freeway Villas, A luxury poolside home belonging to 55 year old Portugese lady, Mrs. Suzette Lage.Not normally on her own, Mrs. Lage felt comfortable and secure in her home of many years, despite her husband having flown back to Portugal to take care of their restaurant business.As the homeowner tidied her home and took out the garbage, so the two assailants pounced on her and dragged her back inside the comfortable home, where they held her at gunpoint as they demanded all the valuables in the house.Taking diamonds and jewelry, reported to be worth more than 500,000 baht, they also grabbed credit and debit cards and cajoled her into giving them the PIN numbers.--pattaya103.com 2012-09-23 [newsfooter][/newsfooter] Read more: http://www.pattaya103.com/ex-pat-homeowner-bound-and-gagged-during-robbery/#ixzz27Gqg1sZi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lizardtongue Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Poor woman what a traumatic experience for her, I hope the MIB investigate this correctly, it could have ended so differently! where they held her at gunpoint cajoled her into giving them the PIN numbers. I don't think much cajoling was needed staring down the barrel of a gun? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJCM Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Poor lady. Hope she gave fake PIN numbers anyway. Yes she did !! Quote from the original report. Despite being scared witless, the lady was smart enough to give them false numbers, which, at least, protected her bank balance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
