This morning 27 year old Sombat Poonprasart surrendered himself to the Thalang Police.

Sombat told police that he has money problems. He had left his job in Patong two years ago. He says he continued to look for work but failed. He hasn’t made an instalment payment for his house at the Government Hosing Bank for over six months. So he has decided to rob the bank instead.

Police have also discovered that Sombat is a suspect in a gold snatch robbery six months ago.
