They arrived at the scene to find the suspect who had already been caught by security guards from the shopping mall. The suspect was identified only as Mr. Taweesak, 37, who is a delivery bike messenger as his normal route of employment. Taweesak told police that he had 500,000 baht debts for online gambling.
Police reviewed CCTV footage at the bank on the third floor of the mall. The suspect used a screw driver to force a bank staffer to get money for him. The suspect also had a hostage with him before he released the hostage and ran away before he was caught.
