Two Vietnamese sought for B1.6m Phuket ATM heist

Wanted suspects: Tran Dano Hoa and Nguyen Thanh

PHUKET: -- Police have issued arrest warrants for two Vietnamese men wanted for breaking into an ATM at Boat Lagoon a month ago and stealing B1.65 million.

The two have been named as Tran Dano Hoa and Nguyen Thanh, both aged 27, but getting them into court may take some time; police said the two are already back in their home country.

Pol Lt Col Prawit Angchuan explained that the investigation zeroed in on the duo after they were filmed by a security camera attempting earlier the same day to break into an ATM in Thalang.

That attempt was unsuccessful, so the two Vietnamese then went to Boat Lagoon where they successfully opened the Siam Commercial Bank ATM using a cutting torch, and made off with the money.

From questioning witnesses and looking at CCTV footage along the way, police tracked them as far as Patong, and were able to identify both.

Immigration officers around the country have been alerted to keep an eye out for the thieves, just in case, but it is believed they left the country through Nong Khai into Laos and made their way home from there soon after the robbery.

Pol Col Sermphan Sirikhong, superintendent of Phuket Town Police, noted that the robbers had been helped by the fact that the alarm on the ATM was not linked to the police but a centralised bank security system, so valuable time had been lost alerting police, allowing the duo to make good their escape.

And who are they paying the 90% to, since most admit to keeping only 10%. Maybe they are independent, or having one up on the Russians.

Interesting conjecture.

I doubt they are paying 90% to anyone. They cut the ATM open with a cutting torch. The guys sending money to Mr Big are

the guys that are given cloned cards and pin numbers and there part of the theft is going around to ATM's and pulling

out money.

Hats of to PoPo, I am sure it is only a matter of time before these guys are in the monkey house.

The guys in the picture look older than 27 years old.

Seeking them urgently to get their cut!

The guy in the forefront of that picture - maybe I could believe he's 27 if I squint a bit. But that guy behind must be at least in his fourties.
