The six men will this morning be brought to the Ratchadapisek Criminal Court ahead of their first 12-day detention period.

City police deputy chief Pol Maj-General Sompong Chingduang said police would soon issue arrest warrants for three more individuals, for allegedly aiding those already in custody.

He made his comment as he led a police re-enactment of the crime at three Bangkok locations with the five detainees. Narongchai Sawasdiphol, 32, Chawalit Charoenpol, 31, Surasak Srithawong, 35, Pongsak Pitasiripan, 31, and Krissada Atthawet, 30, were brought to the Ratchada Pavilion condominium to re-enact the crime in the fifth floor parking area where the robbery took place.

Then they were taken to the intersection near the head office of the Mass Rapid Transit Authority of Thailand in Huay Kwang district, where they are said to have dumped the stolen pickup truck.

They were also taken to the Royal City Avenue’s (RCA) underground parking lot, where they regrouped before separately heading in different directions.

Sompong said the suspects had told police that they would each due a Bt500,000 share for their part in the crime. The robbery of cash and a pickup truck from two employees who were on the way to deliver cash to gold and jewellery exporter Pattharit Taerattanachai’s on Monday night turned out to be an inside job. Greed and outstanding debts were cited as motives.

Narongchai, who had been employed by Pattharit to bring the money from Japan, was the first to be arrested on Wednesday night and confessed to having planned the robbery with his brother-in-law Natthapong Thanyatoon, 33, who remains at large.

Two other suspects also worked for Pattharit, while Chawalit and Surasak were former employees.

Natthapong’s friend Sarayuth allegedly served as the getaway driver and the person who rented a room at the condominium where the heist took place.
