A GROUP OF five hooded armed men robbed Bt197.96 million yen (about Bt60 million) in cash and a brand-new Ford pickup truck from a diamond merchant’s employees at a Bangkok condominium parking lot on Monday night.

THE ANTI-MONEY Laundering Office has seized Bt60 million from bank accounts belonging to alleged illegal money lender Wichai Panngam’s network and is probing financial transactions in the hunt for more accomplices linked to the scheme, Justice deputy permanent secretary Pol Colonel Dusadee Arayawuth said yesterday.
