Thread: Manhunt for the lone robber who robs SCB bank of about 600,000 baht

Police in Bang Nam Priew district of Chachoengsao have launched a manhunt for a man who robbed the Siam Commercial Bank’s branch in the district of about 600,000 baht in cash Friday afternoon.


Pol Maj-Gen Thiraphol Chindaluang, commander of Chachoengsao province, said he believes the lone robber who is between 170-180 cm high is still hiding somewhere in Bang Nam Priew district.


He added that he had ordered his men to examine the footage of all CCTV system at and around the robbed bank in Tambon Don Chimplee and suspected escape routes in a bid to try to track the robber.


Moreover, police invited security guards, vendors selling food near the bank and security guards for questioning.


A staff member of the Klong 16 branch of the SCB told a police enquiry officer that the robber who wore a full-face crash helmet walked into the bank at about 1.30 pm, wielding a pistol and forced a teller at gunpoint to put money from the drawers into his black plastic bag. Then he escaped in a motorcycle, he said.

^ That narrows it down to one of half a dozen people. He's wearing an helmet. No policeman security in the bank?

Lunchtime for police and security. Well timed

Under Thaksin businesses and government offices were made to have staggered lunch breaks. As soon as he was kicked out of office they reverted back to fixed lunch breaks 12-1. Come back Mr Thaksin.

They should be looking for a guy that's partying with a bunch of new friends.

More likely the actual amount taken was B40,000.
The bank reported B600K

No one's the wiser.

Any more clues about the robber? 170-180 cm...... tsk. tsk. tsk.
