Myanmar nationals robbed of 30k cash in Phuket
PHUKET: Police are hunting a pair of armed robbers who stole 30,000 baht from two Myanmar nationals in Phuket on Wednesday afternoon.
Ye Su Or, 21, and Priew, 17, were walking into a SuperCheap when two men drove up on a motorbike and demanded the money at knife-point.
“The couple had a lot of cash so that they could buy items from the SuperCheap and re-sell them at their workers’ camp,” Capt Pichai Wattanawalan of the Thalang Police said.
The robbers quickly fled the scene.
“We are checking CCTV in the area to see if we can spot the men and track them down,” Capt Pichai said.
