Drama as robber threatens to blow up Bangkok Bank – but he’s soon caught and it’s fake

A lone robber went into a ranch of Bangkok Bank at Big C extra in the Anusawalee area of Bang Khen, Bangkok, last night and told a frighten employee that he had a bomb.
She stuffed a plastic bag with 55,760 baht in cash and the robber fled.
But a citizen’s arrest led to the man’s capture by Bang Khen police nearby.
The “bomb” – wrapped in black tape – was shown to be nothing more than a fake after EOD experts were called.
Taken into custody in a state of what appeared drunkenness was 40 year old Chayan Malithong, reported Daily News.
He walked into the bank near closing time on Sunday and handed a note to teller Usawadee Nahuaythong.
It said: “Put the money in the bag…….I have a bomb (be calm)”. He then repeated the threat verbally and a scared Usawadee complied.
A customer realized what had transpired and the alarm was raised leading to a citizen’s arrest.
