A criminal brandished a knife and held a female employee in a headlock, stealing 1,800 baht. The criminal has been identified and it is expected that the police will soon be able to apprehend and prosecute him.
CCTV footage shows a robber walking up to a female employee in a pink shirt while she is counting money. The robber then uses his left arm to lock her neck and holds a knife in his right hand to rob the employee of 1,800 baht before quickly running away on a motorcycle on October 12 at a restaurant in Ban Suan Subdistrict, Mueang District, Chon Buri Province.
Reporters went to the scene of the incident and asked an 18-year-old female employee who said that the incident occurred around closing time. She was counting money to check sales when a large, plump robber ran up to her, grabbed her neck, held a weapon to her throat, and snatched the money from her hand. Another employee named Bank saw what was happening and quickly grabbed a knife and ran after the robber, but was too late.
Mr. Phallop, 38 ye
ars old, the restaurant owner, said that the restaurant had only been open for 2 months, but normally there are other branches in Chonburi. He did not think that the culprit would dare to do this because the restaurant had CCTV cameras. Initially, a report was filed at Chonburi Provincial Police Station, and after checking the car’s license plate, they knew who the culprit was. It is expected that the police will be able to arrest the culprit soon.
