They've got to be wishing they had just gone home. Thai bankers have a lot of clout, would not want to be them.

Oh dear, how fucking thick are some people?

Desperate and dim, not a good combination.

Surprising it worked at all, cannot imagine what you would attach the rope to on that car or pick up that could take the force of pulling an atm/vault out of a wall.

They are free standing ATMs, only bolted to the floor. Jim

Two Pattaya Brits arrested following three bungled ATM Robberies

29th June 2012



Two of three British suspects thought to be involved in the theft of three ATM machines within Chonburi Province have been arrested by Provincial Transnational Crime Suppression Police Officers.

The three incidents occurred in Laem Chabang and Bowin which is in Sriracha District.

Police were able to arrest the suspects by-chance after they traced the nylon cord used to grab the ATM machines to a shop in Sriracha District.

When Police went to the shop, the two suspects were inside and later found to be the two involved in the ATM thefts.

Police Lieutenant General Panya, Region 2 Police Commissioner, held a press conference at Chonburi Police Headquarters on Friday morning to announce the arrest of Mr. Alexander Milbourn aged 24 and Mr. Shaun Edward Tracy aged 34 who were both unemployed and had resided in Pattaya for the last 10 years.

They had allegedly devised a plan with a third man, also British, known only as “Richard”, to use Nylon rope attached to a rented vehicle with the other end attached to the cash box of the ATM machine which would then be yanked from the wall.

In all three cases the cash boxes could not be opened and the broken ATM machines would be abandoned by the assailants.

The men are thought to have gained inspiration for the robberies from the “Fast Five” Movie which used the same method to successfully remove money from ATM Machines.

Police are now hunting for the third suspect in this case and for now Mr. Milbourn and Mr. Tracy remain behind bars pending Court proceedings.

Third suspect? I wonder if he'll manage to sneak out?

^^ Hope he does !! and look at the cocky police in the pics. Clever c ts eh !

I wonder if the police are selling the strops?, only used three times.

Never mind the "fast five film", How about the "thick as shit three".
No sequel in the pipeline just yet, try 26yrs from now.

stupid pommy konts,goodnight irene,goodnight irene,ill see you in my dreams.

Life must be gloomy when you're looking at a long time in prison.

Anyone catch this video from the USA Thursday, another defendant looking at a long prison term apparently killed himself in the courtroom immediately after the verdict was read.

What is the escorting cops t-shirt? It looks like a chimp and says 'Save Anna'. Is she in remand prison too?

So young Alex has lived in Pattaya since he was 14? Impressive.

They went back to the shop that they bought the rope from? They also left new strops at the crime scene? These guys can not be described as professionals now can they?

How long do you get in Thailand for bank robbery and how long for stupidity?

At the end of the day, no amount of physical security can stop someone breaking into something; but then the reality is that all you need is enough security to delay the thieves long enough for people to respond to your actions.

Looks like bolting to the floor and some locked steel is genuinely enough here.

As for our embarrassingly thick criminals. three attempts before they worked out they needed to rethink their. why the fuck didn't they rent a truck, something to pull the atm into the truck so they could drive off with the thing under a tarpaulin.

Property crime at night gets you a very long stretch. what did those essex boys get for just putting a skimmer on an ATM? these chaps should get far more time

How long do you get in Thailand for bank robbery and how long for stupidity?

the only precedent I can think of was the chap caught in lubrini park with drugs he successfully smuggled though the airport. he got 50 years... I think 20 for the smuggling and 30 for stupidity
