They are believed to have used rented cars namely a Honda Civic, a Toyota Vios and a Toyota Fortuner to tour ATMs in the south and Bangkok to steal money.

Head of the investigation Panya Mamen appealed to rental companies who might have noticed the return of the vehicles in question by eastern Europeans in the period of July 26th to August 10th.

Any information about the men would be useful.

Members of the public are also asked to provide information; the white Civic was spotted at the J and P Supermart on CCTV in the Tha Chatchai area of Phuket on July 16th at 5.50pm.
