Krungthai employee 'confesses' to Bt19 million theft
Police yesterday arrested three Krungthai Bank employees suspected of embezzling more than Bt19 million from a Khon Kaen branch of the bank last week.
They are Thawatchai Samranbamrung, Sompote Singsom and Surasak Prasertsank. Police determined Sompote was solely responsible for the theft.
KTB General Services filed a complaint with police after the three were absent from work between July 27-31, when BT19.7 million destined for 17 ATMs in the municipality disappeared.
According to the commander of Khon Kaen provincial police, Maj-General Jitjaroon Srivanit, Sompote confessed to stealing the money on July 29 before fleeing to Laos.
He was apprehended on Saturday.
Police seized Bt1.4 million in cash, five gold necklaces and over 40 currency straps from Sompote, who is slated to re-enact the crime today.
