webfact Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Blacklisted Serbian changed passport and came back to break into Rayong ATM Picture: Daily News Police in Surat Thani have arrested three Serbians on suspicion of using cutting equipment to steal from a Krung Thai ATM machine in Rayong. One of the three is believed to have changed his name after being blacklisted from Thailand in 2016. Police in Rayong alerted their counterparts in the south that they had received a GPS signal from a Fortuner that was involved in the ATM robbery in their area. Kanchanadit area cops went to a resort behind a PTT gas station and at Room 4 found the Fortuner. In the back was cutting equipment, gas tanks, oxygen tanks and various tools. Arrested were Laf Nikolic, 51, his wife Milika Lutic, 42, and Ninas Skokics, 65 (all names transliterated from Thai language). Police said that all three entered Thailand from Poi Pet, Cambodia in early September, reported Daily News. They said that Laf is in fact a man previously known by the name of Milan who was blacklisted in 2016. He had since changed his passport and come back to Thailand, a fact that was not spotted at the Thai border. The three are now being questioned by police over the ATM crime.

Is this some sort of low-jacking system. I didn't think that standard GPS systems gave out a homing signal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jspill Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Nice to get confirmation that changing one's passport / name works to avoid the blacklist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thaichiro Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 When will they start using finger prints for ID verification at all Immigration stations? Relatively inexpensive and quick, unlike the lazy and slow Immigration lads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NextStationBangkok Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 So, Thais will be more careful now selling cutting equipment, gas tanks, oxygen tanks and various tools to Serbs. ???? For sure next year, they will come back too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically it doesn't work. So Albert or Victor or John always checking in. Most criminals change their names, or get fake passports, or steal passports from others and come. If Thailand is banning overstay or Nigerians and their cousin countries, why are they still coming back with different passport and changed names? Probably finger print can work, or a tattoo on their foreheads can work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'd be easier in my opinion to keep the same passport and walk/swim across the border from a neighbouring country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can turn it off on your phone but then google maps or any other navigation you use is useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand, the authorities can track you just if you're phone is on !!!!, and sometimes just when the battery is in and the phone is switched off !!!

If they're really unlucky, they may be questioned whether they were planning to use such work equipment to work without a work permit, and that in a job reserved for Thais.
