ATM heist
Thieves yesterday ran off with an ATM machine, which had been filled with Bt2.45 million a day earlier, in Songkhla's Hat Yai district.
Sathaporn Nilpradab, 43, a security guard at nearby Songkhla Social Security Office, told police that five men in a white pickup truck arrived at around 2am. Two men pointed a gun at his head, tied him up and threatened to kill him if he did not remain silent, he said. "I was in shock and constantly just begged for my life," he said, adding that he could not remember any of the thieves' faces. Two men used a two-wheel cart to haul the ATM machine from Krung Thai Bank on to the truck before it sped away. It all happened in 10 minutes, the guard said.
