He used a blue shirt to conceal his face and was wearing white gloves,” said Thanit.“At first I told him that I couldn't open the tills but he threatened me with the knife and said he would stab me,” said the employee.The robber spoke Thai with a Burmese accent, the employee told police.After reviewing CCTV footage, police have concurred that a tall man in his thirties fitting the suspect's description was filmed making his way to the store from the direction of the nearby Big C superstore. However, he had concealed his face before entering the store.Investigating officers expressed their surprise that the recent shooting by police of a suspected serial 7-11 thief earlier this month had not put off other wound-be robbers.Source: http://www.thephuketnews.com/man-robs-phuket-7-11-with-kitchen-knife-49352.php -- Phuket News 2014-10-27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
