Thief attempts snatch-and-run with 600,000 baht
Stole so that he could get married
A policeman on routine patrol in the Pattaya Beach Road area at 10 a.m. on November 2 heard a woman cry out for help. Investigating, he found an officer of the Siam Commercial Bank, 23-year-old Ms Daorat Ardyaemsuan, who told him that a man had snatched about 600,000 baht contained in a brown paper bag from the front of the bank€™s exchange booth on Pattaya Klang Second Road Beach Branch, which is located only 200 meters away from the police station. The robber had escaped in the direction of North Pattaya.
A large posse of about 50 police officers immediately set off in pursuit and the thief was apprehended with the paper bag full of money still in his possession.
He was identified as Supong Nutchkasem, age 25, and claimed to be TV cameraman. Supong said he was planning to ask his girlfriend to marry him but her parents had asked for a dowry and gold to the value of 400,000 baht. He had therefore planned the robbery to pay for his bride but unfortunately from his point of view he had been arrested before he could hand the money over.
Siam Commercial Bank€™s Daorat said that she had withdrawn 600,000 baht to hand over to the exchange booth. When she took the paper bag from the car the thief snatched it from her grasp and fled.
What a loser!
