Suspect Identified: Gold Theft in Central City Mall, Over 100 Baht Stolen

Police are making progress in investigating the gold shop robbery. High-ranking police officers met to discuss the case, with Police Lieutenant General Siam Boonsom revealing they have narrowed down potential suspects. Preliminary investigation shows the perpetrator had been scouting the location since January 29th, making two prior visits before executing the crime when the mall was less crowded. The suspect used a motorcycle with a license plate that is currently being verified for authenticity. Police are in the process of collecting evidence and preparing an arrest warrant, estimating it will take 1-2 days. They have interviewed the gold shop employees and the motorcycle's registered owner to gather more information. The National Police Office is reviewing security measures and plans to consult with the Gold Traders Association to develop additional prevention strategies, especially given the current high gold prices.
