Phuket: 12 years after a notorious gold robbery at a prominent shopping mall in Phuket Town, the elusive thief has finally been apprehended. The initial robbery, which took place exactly 12 years ago, resulted in the tragic death of a good Samaritan who was preparing to marry his girlfriend. The suspect managed to flee the scene at that time, eluding capture despite ongoing investigations.

According to Thai News Agency, the police investigation team has been persistently tracking the suspect over the years. His eventual arrest came when he returned to commit the same crime at the same location on the same day, 12 years later. This arrest marks the end of a lengthy pursuit and brings closure to a case that has haunted the community for over a decade.
