Thieves burgle Bt6m from ATM
At least three thieves forced open an ATM machine on a Chon Buri superhighway in heavy rain and got away with a money box containing Bt6 million, police said yesterday.
Following the report of the theft at 1.30am, police found that one of two ATMs at Kasikornbank's Om Muang Chon Buri branch had been yanked open. Police suspect the culprits destroyed a security camera and, after a failed attempt to jemmy the machine open, chained the ATM's cover to a pickup truck and drove off, forcing out the money box. Police seized the jemmy at the scene and recovered parts of the money box from the road, near a Muslim cemetery. The culprits' knowledge of the bank's schedule in putting money in the machine and of the getaway route suggested to police that they were local residents.
