Blacklisted Serbian changed passport and came back to break into Rayong ATM

Police in Surat Thani have arrested three Serbians on suspicion of using cutting equipment to steal from a Krung Thai ATM machine in Rayong.

One of the three is believed to have changed his name after being blacklisted from Thailand in 2016.

Police in Rayong alerted their counterparts in the south that they had received a GPS signal from a Fortuner that was involved in the ATM robbery in their area.

Kanchanadit area cops went to a resort behind a PTT gas station and at Room 4 found the Fortuner.

In the back was cutting equipment, gas tanks, oxygen tanks and various tools.

Arrested were Laf Nikolic, 51, his wife Milika Lutic, 42, and Ninas Skokics, 65 (all names transliterated from Thai language).

Police said that all three entered Thailand from Poi Pet, Cambodia in early September, reported Daily News.

They said that Laf is in fact a man previously known by the name of Milan who was blacklisted in 2016.

He had since changed his passport and come back to Thailand, a fact that was not spotted at the Thai border.

The three are now being questioned by police over the ATM crime.
