PHUKET: Police have arrested a 22-year-old man for the robbery of two pharmacies in Phuket during the past week. Both holdups were carried out by threatening staff with a pocket knife.

Armed with a warrant issued earlier yesterday, officers arrested Wiwat Homhwan, from Nakhon Sri Thammarat, at a rented room in Soi Kraisart in Rassada at 10:45pm last night (Mar 4).

Police seized a Honda Scoopy motorbike, B10,140 cash, a pocket knife, his motorbike helmet and items of clothing that match those worn by the robbery during the robberies.

Lt Col Krisana Yadkam of the Phuket City Police explained that his officers picked up the suspect’s trail after Chalong Pharmacy on Chao Fa West Rd was robbed just before 10pm on Thursday (Mar 3).

maybe he got a severe headache caused by his booze the day before and was in need for some Ibuprofen. And because of gambling the day before...money was gone. The only payment was his knife. The pharmacist must have mistaken something....

It's just easy access to knives I tellin' ya!

Tougher knife control legislation could stop this.
