Lite Beer Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Security truck driver denies B500k Phuket cash heist Tanyaluk Sakoot Sampan Inaksorn (blue shirt) is brought into Chalong Police Station after his arrest yesterday. PHUKET: A security truck driver, arrested on a charge of stealing B500,000 from KasikornBank while delivering cash to ATMs five weeks ago, has denied carrying out the theft.Sampan Inaksorn, 34, who is a driver for the security company and Kasikorn affiliate Progress Multi Insurance Broker, was arrested at the bank’s Dilok Rd branch in Phuket City yesterday (March 27) as he waited for a consignment of cash to be loaded into his armoured truck.On February 16, Sampan and two bank staff collected B3 million from the Dilok Rd branch to refill ATMs at 10 points around Phuket.When they reached the last ATM, at the PTT gas station on Chao Fa West Rd in Chalong, the bank staff found that B500,000 has disappeared. They reported the disappearance to Chalong Police Station.Policemen had already investigated the two bank staff who were with Sampan on the day of the theft and have concluded that the two were not culpable.But Sampan told police after his arrest yesterday, “I have worked for the bank for more than six years. That day, I and two bank staff collected B3 million from KasikornBank. I have no idea what happened to the money.”Source: http://www.thephuketnews.com/security-truck-driver-denies-b500k-phuket-cash-heist-38229.php -- Phuket News 2013-03-28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPI Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 It looks like the BIB are taking a guess on this one? If he keeps his nerve he might just get away with it as the police rely totally on "re-enactment of the crime" as the only evidence against the defendant!IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boater Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 It could have been someone in the counting room short change the ATM cartridge. That wouldn't be the case , I used to work in a bank and you fill the cartridges yourself and then the ATM counts them One thing I notice with thailand is the ATMs are not really that secure , what is stopping someone with inside access from going to the machine and just opening it up ?
