Police in the city of Laem Chabang, the shipping port in the eastern province of Chon Buri, are hunting a suspect described as “armed and dangerous” following a robbery at a department store. Employees of the ‘Golden 99’ store were threatened at gunpoint before the man made off with gold valued at 200,000 baht. The 3 staff members were left shaken but unhurt.
Police were notified of the robbery yesterday evening and have been examining CCTV footage as part of their investigation. Footage shows the thief threatening employees, then climbing over the counter and taking an amount of gold before running out of the store. The authorities say they already have several leads in their search for the suspect.

Well, looks like he’s left some pretty clear fingerprints behind!
looking for an armed man is a bit like looking for a needle in a haystack. if they were looking for a man with no arms im sure theyd soon catch him. could the staff not give a better description than the fact the robber had arms?
foolish of the robber to rob this place anyway, can see from the first photo they have nothing on display and it seems a popular place for the police to visit… 5 of them there.
under covid situation, he would have had to scan a qr code or write his name in a book as he entered the jewelry shop. surely they can identify him through that.
