Currency straps usually put around bundles of money - worth more than Bt3 million - were found yesterday in Rayong's Muang district.
Phanuwat Hunmatcha, 48, a local resident, found a huge amount of currency straps in a bin and on a road near his home. There were Bt100, Bt500 and Bt1,000 currency straps from Siam Commercial Bank and Bank of Ayudhya. Police calculated they had held bundles of cash that totalled Bt3.6 million.
Police also found paper with a list of bank branches where ATMs are located. As it was at weekend, police said they could not check with the banks to find out if the straps were left by officials who transported money to ATMs. They plan to contact the banks to investigate the case.
