Crime Armed Robber Caught After Gold Shop Heist in Bang Bo
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. Police have arrested a 31-year-old man following a brazen armed robbery, with a gun, at a gold shop in Bang Bo district, Samut Prakan province. The suspect, identified as Mr. Weerawat “Arm”, stole 49 gold necklaces weighing a total of 123 baht (initially reported by the shop as 60 baht) and valued at over 6 million baht, before fleeing the scene on a black Honda motorcycle without a licence plate. The National Police Chief, Pol Gen Kittirat Phanphet, ordered rapid action to track down the suspect, citing the robber’s knowledge of the area and use of blind spots to evade CCTV cameras. Investigators from Samut Prakan Provincial Police tracked the suspect after he abandoned his motorcycle in a fish pond near Wat Khlon Lat and hid in a residence in Ban Rakat sub-district. Using a search warrant issued by Samut Prakan Provincial Court, police raided the house and found Mr. Weerawat inside. During questioning, he admitted to the robbery and led officers to a portion of the stolen gold, which had been hidden in a speaker cabinet. Authorities collected all evidence and are continuing investigations to identify any accomplices and locate the rest of the stolen gold. Pol Maj-Gen Wichit Boonchinwutikul, provincial police commander, confirmed that the case is ongoing.

Report Foreign Volunteer Claims Death Threats at Lopburi AIDS Temple
Picture courtesy of CHANNEL8 A former foreign volunteer at Lopburi’s Phra Bat Nampu Temple claims her life was endangered after aiding AIDS patients. She alleges that improving patient health led to fewer donations, provoking a sinister backlash. The temple, helmed by Abbot Alongkot Ponlamun, is under the spotlight. Instead of receiving praise for patient support, the temple is now facing allegations of fraud and mismanagement. Tensions rose when spiritual medium Bee "the Ghost Ambassador" was accused of stealing donations, triggering a wider investigation into the temple's dealings. The investigation covers financial irregularities, dubious land ownership, and the management of donations, despite Bee's denial of any wrongdoing. The temple or its AIDS organisation intended to acquire the land with donated money, but the late manager's family now owns it. Donated items, meant for patients, were also found neglected. These revelations sparked anger over how funds and resources were handled. The controversy gained traction after Dr. Manoon Leechawengwongs highlighted a story from the Bangkok Post, sharing details from a former volunteer named Leslie. Leslie began volunteering in 2003, performing medical duties and purchasing supplies with her funds. Under pressure from the temple, her team was stopped from administering medication sourced by Dr. Jurirat Bowornwattanawong, aiming to maintain patient health. Eventually, Leslie and other volunteers were barred from the premises, with Leslie reporting threats, including damage to her motorcycle. She believed their work, which made patients healthier, reduced sympathy-driven donations. Dr. Jurirat corroborated Leslie's story, noting coercion from Abbot Alongkot to pause medication for media appearances, which she refused, citing patient welfare concerns. She acknowledged her limited awareness, learning of the troubles only after volunteers left. Abbot Alongkot has since resigned amidst intensifying scrutiny but remains liable for potential legal charges. The quest to uncover the temple's fiscal misdealing, including Bee's alleged embezzlement, is ongoing, with no legal outcomes yet finalised. Adapted by ASEAN Now from The Thaiger 2025-08-21- 1
