Assets over 10 million baht stolen from businessman at fitness centre

A businessman filed a complaint with police after assets of over 10 million baht were stolen from a fitness centre safety box at a shopping mall on Ngam Wongwarn Road in Nonthaburi.

This isn’t the first time the fitness centre has been targeted by thieves. Their task is made a lot easier by the fact there are no security cameras near the safety box.

The victim, Sathit, shared his story with the media yesterday.

The 35 year old said he is a member of the shopping mall’s gym and goes there almost every day after work.

On Tuesday, January 10, at 6pm, Sathit visited the gym, changed into his fitness gear, took off all his accessories, put them in a bag, and locked them in a safety box.

Sathit spent two hours exercising before returning to the locker room and safety box only to find it empty.

Sathit said he was in shock because the bag held three valuable amulets, a gold necklace, a Rolex gem-decorated watch, a diamond bracelet, a diamond ring, and a Louis Vuitton keychain. The assets were worth over 10 million baht, and he worked hard for years to earn them.

Sathit notified fitness staff of the theft and reported the issue to police. Officers arrived at the scene and found no traces of theft or any fingerprints on the safety box.

Sathit urged the fitness staff to check the security camera but was shocked to discover there was no CCTV camera in the locker room.

Sathit suspects the thief had a spare key and also discovered that previous thefts at the gym were similar in nature, with assets being taken from the gym’s safety boxes.

Sathit stated to the media that no information has been provided by either the police or the fitness centre, and as a result, he plans to take legal action against the fitness centre to seek compensation.
