The gold necklaces were returned to the store by the police, but they haven’t decided what punishments to give the thief yet. On Wednesday, July 27, Pornthep, a 24-year-old man, held up the gold store on Chom Pon Road in Thesaban Nakhon Ratchasima District of Nakhon Ratchasima Province at gunpoint. Later, the motorcycle was left by the side of the road next to a woodland. The robbery was caught on tape by the store’s surveillance system. Pornthep was seen limping inside the gold shop while donning a motorcycle helmet and a dark jacket. The jewelry thief made off with five gold necklaces worth 150,000 baht, each weighing approximately 75 grams. Before the shop employees put the necklaces in a bag and handed them over, he produced a revolver and made threats. Additionally, the student said that he committed the heist in order to invest in a cannabis plant business.
