thaigerd Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 English house owner bound and gagged as 500,000 Baht’s worth of valuables are taken in armed house robbery. Police Colonel Somnook, the Chief of Pattaya Police along with other senior officers received an urgent call to attend house number 354/73 located in Soi 10 off the Tappraya Road in Jomtien after the English owner of the house had reported an armed robbery at the location. Police arrived and spoke with Mr. Paul Edward Futcher aged 56 who explained how three men had entered his house and had stolen around 500,000 Baht’s worth of cash and valuables. The story begins on Friday Night when Mr. Futcher, who was alone at the time, was working on his computer. Suddenly three men came up behind him and one of the men was holding a gun. Mr. Futcher was held down as the men began to ransack his house in search of valuable items. They uncovered a safe and forced Mr. Futcher to open the safe at gun point. Inside was 402,000 Baht in cash, 100 pounds sterling, a gold necklace and ring worth nearly 40,000 Baht and a DVD camera. Before the men left they tied Mr. Futchers hands and legs together and tied a piece of cord around his mouth. Some time later he managed to break free and called the Police along with his Boyfriend, Khun Wootipong aged 29 who was out at the time. Police inspected the house and found it to be full of security equipment including a front door entry system. This led Police to theorize that at least one of the assailants had been inside the house before or was given detailed information about the security systems in place at the house by a third party. The hunt is now on for the three man gang, based on descriptions of them given by Mr. Futcher. From PCN Don't have to be Sherlock Holmes to solve this case................. Little teeruk was waiting in boyztown for his friends to come back and having a party Have a nice weekend! Gerd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should have had a very cheap, webcam with motion detector, that would have uploaded pictures of the crooks automatically to the net. In fact i think it is available for free (the software, not the webcam) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sophon Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 They uncovered a safe and forced Mr. Futcher to open the safe at gun point. This is why I would never have a safe in my home. If you have a safe people will think you have valuables worth robbing or even killing you for. I think mr. Futcher is lucky to be alive.

Scott Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 If you don't have a safe in your home, where is the best place to keep them? I mean, obviously 402,000 Baht would have been better off in the bank, but things like foreign currency, gold etc.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
