ATM burglar reenacts how to steal cash from it

 

 

Phetchaburi police yesterday escorted a burglar to reenact the breaking open of a ATM machine of the Siam Commercial Bank with gas cutter.

 

The burglar Charnarong Einghongthong, 46, and his colleague, still at large, escaped with 2 million baht in cash after a 20-minute attempt.

 

Charnarong was arrested at a weekend market in Nakhon Ratchasima and confessed to be one of the two burglars breaking open the ATM machine in front of SR Spinning Co Ltd in Phetburi town on May 20.

 

He said while reenacting the breaking of the machine with gas cutter that he learnt the tricks of ATM robbery from YouTube, and therefore took him only 20 minutes to get 2 million baht cash out with no damages to the money.

Bet there was a huge crowd taking notes, rather attempting to lynch someone at this re-enactment.

 

Or asking for a link to the YouTube account he used.

The government giving out recipes for explosive devices, but a 2million Baht atm robbery, assisted by a YouTube video, is big news.  Money speaks!

This is Thailand 4.0.

Private enterprise using innovation to generate revenues.

Prayut might commend him but then why encourage competition?

The two cops on the left look like they are in  "pay attention and learn" mode.

An important detail missing from the You Tube video. How to get away with it!!!!

[Nowisee]

Now there will be threats to YouTube[Alphabet] to take down all YouTube videos that will teach thais to do anything considered [fill in the blank].

They will have exactly 9 days to comply or the Internet Security Force will pull the plug.
