Thailand: Search underway for woman who robbed gold shop of 37 necklaces at gunpoint

A middle-aged woman in a full-face crash helmet, dark green jacket and black trousers made off with 37 necklaces in a gold shop robbery in Bang Sao Thong district on Friday evening.

As shown in a security camera footage, the woman parked her motorcycle in front of Kittima gold shop at Muang Mai Bang Phli housing community at 5:52 pm local time on Friday.

She was seen entering the shop with something wrapped in a blue plastic bag in her hand. The perpetrator suddenly pointed the object at the staff to force them to hand her the ornaments.

It turned out to be a gun. She immediately swept 37 gold necklaces and fled on her motorcycle. Patrol police arrived at the scene minutes after the employees pressed an alarm button.

According to an investigation, the woman was the same person who tried to snatch a necklace from a resident just a couple of hours before the shop robbery.

She failed to snatch the ornament before robbing the gold shop, about 6 km away from the first scene at Eua Arthon housing estate in Bang Chalong of Bang Phli district.

Pol Maj Gen Panlop Araemlar, commander of Samut Prakan police, has ordered officers to launch an intense search operation to hunt down the robber.
