A mobile phone shop in Rassada was robbed of 70 phones, Bt7,000 in cash – and the shop’s CCTV camera – when thieves broke through the ceiling in an overnight break-in on Tuesday.
 The robbers covered another CCTV camera outside the shop, in an alley in Rassada, east of Phuket, and dropped a knitted hat at the scene.
Zhou Yan, 36, the Chinese owner of the shop, was in shock after the incident.
The stolen items were new and second-hand phones that had been traded or sold to the shop. 
The thief stole Bt7,000 and some coins in cash as well as the shop’s CCTV camera video recorder. A second CCTV camera inside the shop was twisted to face the ceiling while one of the cameras outside the shop was covered with a carpet and another one was twisted around facing away from the shop.
