A gold robber who made off with gold necklaces worth around 4.5 million baht in Nakhon Ratchasima on Tuesday was apprehended in Pattaya, Chon Buri, on Friday.
Kittipong Phaethaisong, 28, was arrested in the holiday resort city and was taken back to the northeastern province for questioning, said Pol Lt Gen Somprasong Yenthuam, commander of the Provincial Police Region 3.
The suspect’s motive behind the gold heist was that he was jobless and ran out of money, the officer said.
Authorities confiscated some stolen necklaces and were searching for the rest.
