rooster59 Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 Robbers steal 2.1 million baht from an ATM Two robbers made off with 2.1 million baht after they injured a security and broke open an ATM located in the compound of a company on Petkasem road in Petchaburi province early Saturday morning. The security guard of the SR Spinning Company in Tambon Ton Maphrao, Muang district, reportedly told police that at about 4 pm he heard a loud noise of something being sawn coming from an ATM of the Siam Commercial Bank and went to investigate.

steven100 Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 ' He went on saying that the two robbers then set fire to the ATM to break it open and grabbed the cash inside, amounting to 2.1 million baht. ' I'm confused ..... setting fire to an ATM will not allow the cash box to be opened ... I thought that ATM's were virtually theft proof ..... ?

Rob13 Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 (edited) He heard something being sawed or something explode? I think the security guard knows more than he's telling. Edited May 21, 2017 by Rob13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gk10002000 Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Seems odd that this company needed an ATM. I guess maybe a lot of cash transactions, paying the workers of the "spinning company'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
