webfact Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 "Polite" robber with a note steals 300,000 baht from Chonburi gold shop Picture: Daily News A robber was described as polite in the Thai media after he apologized for holding up a gold shop in Chonburi. He even requested that he could make his getaway before the police were called. But a chilling note and the use of a gun left staff and the owner of the Yaowarat branch at Nong Chak market in shock. The man wearing a white Nike cap and surgical mask walked into the shop and handed over a note in Thai that said: "Don't make a noise. Put the gold and cash in the bag. The gold belongs to the shop. Your life is yours. There is no need to get killed". He was holding a gun and staff complied by putting 14 baht weight (about 300,000 baht's worth) of gold jewelry in a plastic bag. Before he left the shop he said: "I'm sorry but I need to do this. Let me get away before you call the police". Ban Bung police are investigating after the robbery yesterday evening.

jacko45k Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 I thought the owner could remotely lock the door, and then get into a secure back room and wait for the police? These gold shops have a lot of stock on show and are easy targets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nowisee Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 If he's typically stupid, he'll go down the road to the next gold shop and try to sell it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
