PHUKET: A bank robber waving a handgun escaped with about 260,000 baht in a stickup on Phuket this afternoon.
The bandit, wearing a blue and white crash helmet, pulled off the raid and rode away on a motorcycle about 12.40pm.
His target, a Kasikorn Bank branch at a Tesco Lotus Express shopping outlet in Chao Fa East Road, Chalong, had been raided once before.
Security camera footage of the bandit is likely to assist police in their hunt.
Kasikorn was the target of the previous bandit who made off with more than two million baht because there were no security guards. There are still no security guards.

I thought it was against the law to enter a bank or store with a crash helmet on? Oh stupid me, there are no laws here, only compromises.
