webfact Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Briton Denies Robbing Koh Samui StoreBy Khaosod EnglishSURAT THANI - The police say they have arrested a Briton who allegedly took off with nearly 179,000 baht from an armed robbery at a convenience store on Koh Samui last week.Mark Kerby (name transcribed from Thai text) was arrested at around 02.00 am. at a bar in Bo Put district following a tip-off from staff at the bar that they have seen his face from the CCTV footage provided by the police.According to the witnesses, the Briton was the very same man who robbed a Family Mart store with a handgun on 28 April, and took away 178,350 baht in cash before fleeing the scene on a car with a license plate that has been covered with white paper.Police reports indicate that Mr. Kerby arrived in Thailand on a tourist visa last November and has been residing at an apartment in Bo Put district on Koh Samui island.Pol.Col. Satit Prom-utai, the chief of Bo Put Police Station, said a police search at Mr. Kerby's residence turned up several rounds of .22 bullets, a pair of sunglasses, and an electric hair clipper.The police did not find the car Mr. Kerby allegedly used in the robbery at his residence because the suspect has already returned the car to the rental office, Pol.Col. Satit claimed.Staff at the car rental office and the robbed Family Mart store similarly confirmed to the police that Mr. Kerby was the robber, Pol.Col. Satit added.Mr. Kerby admitted to the police that he was at the convenience store on the day of the robbery, but insisted that he went there to buy a mobile phone SIM card.The Briton also denied the allegation that he robbed the store's cashiers.Source: http://en.khaosod.co.th/detail.php?newsid=1399010270 -- Khaosod English 2014-05-02 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this serious reporting? The sunglasses match the one in the perpetrator photo and apparently cut his hair based on the arrest photos to disguise himself. So yeah, makes sense to report it. 39 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possible, Tape, on, fingerprints, hair in the car. Reason why he rented the car? Why cut, shaved hair just now? Similar sun glasses. Ect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThaidDown Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 If sunglasses found and shoes match plus if it appears that the head shaving was recent then the circumstantial is building up. was arrested at around 02.00 am. at a bar in Bo Put district following a tip-off from staff at the bar that they have seen his face from the CCTV footage provided by the police. Was the tip off call made just after he had paid the bill ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was the tip off call made just after he had paid the bill ? I reckon that the BiB would have probably been on his tail for a while before that. The 'tip-off' was just nice icing on the cake. Fools rob stores and fools stay on the island to spend the proceeds, lmao. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are looking at two different angles so of course the one looking down with a coat covering him up would make him look smaller. Did you notice the same wrist band on both photos? Left wrist. Take a look Sherlock. I am sure if you were in charge you would hav e it all figured out by now though. I say let the police finish their investigation before we start making assumtions because we all know what happens then. Cheers. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ben2203 Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Moral is if you are going to do an armed robbery, steal a car and rob a shop that is not in your local locality, especially as small as koh Samui, you can drive around it in like 30 minutes, can't you?

PoorSucker Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 small as koh Samui, you can drive around it in like 30 minutes, can't you? 30-40 min from west coast to east coast, depending on traffic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
