The police arrested a Finnish man at a guesthouse in Pattaya yesterday on suspicion of robbing 1 million euros (Bt49.8 million) from an armoured truck in Finland's Turku city earlier this year.
Published on November 28, 2007
The 37-year-old suspect, Juha Pekka, denied that he was involved in the February 17 robbery.
Working with Interpol, Thai police apprehended Pekka after an investigation indicated he had been in Thailand since October 28. In addition to the Finnish arrest warrant, Pekka was also charged by Thai police for overstaying his tourist visa, metropolitan police deputy commissioner Maj-General Wittaya Kosityasathit said.
