Diabetes made me do it! Wannabe ATM robber has novel excuse

 

Caption: Diabetes to blame

 

A delivery man who tried to rob three ATMs on a single night with a crowbar has come up with a novel excuse.

 

He told investigators in Bangkok that diabetes made him do it. 

 

Prakjit, 36, was soon in custody after trying to force open two Kasikorn ATMs and one belonging to Thanachart bank in the Bang Bon area in south western Bangkok. 

 

He failed to get a single baht in the raids, said Sanook. 

 

He told police that he had had six or seven beers on Tuesday night and had been injecting himself with insulin for his sugar levels. 

 

This made him confused and unable to control himself. He then went on the attempted robbery spree on his Yamaha Fino armed with a crowbar.

 

CCTV made him easy to catch and a warrant was served on Thursday.

 

He was caught in Ekkachai Road and taken away.

It's usually the woman who comes up with that one.

That was what made him do it. Blaming diabetes, what a joke!

Now, if he'd have said he did it to mend his faulty brakes he'd be out by now

It´s going to be a long investigation and an even longer trial. It was not Diabetes that made him do it, which mean Diabetes will sue him for defamation.

What we can be sure of is that one of the beers made him do it, but it will be a hell of a work to sort out which one when they all look the same.

The delivery man is totally innocent.

I'm just glad he didn't need milk for the baby.

Luckily not much alcohol in jail so that’s very good for His diabetes.

So the brewery is to blame for ?

Ha ! Silly <deleted>, I've had diabetes for 9 years, also on insulin, it works the other way, not enough sugar can make you feel and do strange things although they'd be no way you could ride a motor bike if your sugar was low ... injecting himself with insulin when having more than a few beers, not a bad idea, I do it with an over indulgence on wine ... it also limits the level of the hangover, but rob an ATM/Bank ... never ! (For you non Diabetics "Don't try this at home" ... or anywhere else for that matter)

Oh dear blood glucose is responsible

 

Not the sharpest tool in the shed, thinking a crow bar would allow him to access the notes in the machine, needs mechanicsand ATM design 101 lessons.
