Man beaten and robbed by 4 men close to Pattaya

Thai Man was bound and gagged inside his apartment and then robbed of possessions by a group of 4 men, one of whom was known to the attacker. Khun Worapot aged 35, who works at a factory in Rayong Province and lives on the outskirts of Pattaya in a government-controlled apartment complex, was taken to Banglamung Police Station on Wednesday afternoon to complete a crime report. He revealed that one of the attackers, Khun Apishart aged 20, a former work colleague, had borrowed 6,000 Baht from him and had promised to pay the money back on 7th May. On Wednesday he went to visit the victim and confirmed the money would be paid back. All seemed well until Khun Apishart returned to the victim’s apartment later on Wednesday with three other men and forced the victim back into his apartment and attacked him. His hands were tied together with electric cable and tape was placed over his mouth. The group of 4 attackers proceeded to steal a computer set, a digital camera, two mobile phones and 1,500 Baht in cash. They also took the key to the victims Nissan pick-up truck which was later found parked close-by. Eventually Khun Worapot managed to remove the tape from his mouth, after the men had left, and shouted for help. Police are now hunting for the 4 suspects who remain at large for now.
