BANK Robbery !

[Camrysfa]

well travelled Canadians!

don't think their govt is eager to bring them home pronto....

SG jails are quite humane ..... can study and not infested with corrupt offcials and gangs.

 

[Blackyv]

Btw, since Thai said they found prove he has plan to do crime in thailand and Dubai, can't they charge him there and jail him first before sending him away,?.

[Albeniz]

To be fair, its a victimless crime.

 

Reputation and traumatic experience apart, The only victim is the bank and the insurance company.

 

Cannot expect much from this outcome. Maybe the minimum sentence to appease the

Human rights group...

 

Anyway this whole saga on the extrication also reflect on our foreign relationship with other countries. Having the impression that MFA is slacking off. Will things be easier if George Yeo is still minister?

if u look at singapore pass history, 

the years given for robbery, even if small amount 100buks?? 1000buks.

 

is alway much much higher when compare with white collar I.T crime that take money also

 

and some more this guy rob a bank.

 

but we shall see .

"The Canadian woman, who was not named, said she travelled with Roach for nearly three months in Turkey and Iran.

They also went on a trip to Nepal this year.

She could not believe that Roach had committed a robbery, she said."

I'm puzzled by the seemingly turn of events .... Layman's questions

 

1. Why would Canada want to take him back ? Bad for foreign relations leh .... Not that he is someone of importance. Why should they interfere when their citizens did naughty things abroad, Like that they will be very JIN BO ENG lor. They also cannot take him back and charge him. The most they just take him back and let him walk. Then he goes out and commit another crime abroad again. Extradite him again ?? Really make no sense

 

2. Thailand arrested & detained him at Singapore's request. If they do not want to extradite him to SG, then they should just release him cos he has not committed a crime in Thailand. Neither should they send him back to Canada, For what ??

3 steps to become a successful bank robber:

1) Wear plain clothes

2) Take a taxi

3) Behave normally

QED   
 

Wear plain clothes, take a taxi and behave normally.

Singapore bank robbery suspect David James Roach, 27, had scribbled these three "points to note after carrying out a robbery" in a notebook that was recovered after his arrest in Bangkok, it was revealed yesterday.

On a separate page, he had also written in brackets "make money" next to a list of three cities - Singapore, Chiang Mai and Dubai - that formed his escape route, Major-General Apichart Suriboonya told Shin Min Daily News.

However, Maj-Gen Apichart, who heads Thailand's Interpol unit, added that Roach did not specify in his notebook plans to rob the Standard Chartered Bank branch in Holland Village last Thursday.

Roach, a Canadian, allegedly entered the bank at around 11.30am, passed the teller a slip of paper and fled to Bangkok on the same day with about $30,000 in cash.

 

 

On Sunday, he was nabbed at Boxpackers Hostel in Bangkok's Ratchathewi district, after Singapore issued an arrest warrant to the Thai authorities.

The Thai police were able to trace his whereabouts in 54 hours, deploying more than 100 officers to check 400 closed-circuit television cameras in the vicinity of Central World mall.

The first lead came from footage captured at the airport, which showed Roach boarding a white taxi, said Maj-Gen Apichart.

During a three-hour interrogation, he reportedly told an officer: "Please send me back to Canada, I don't want to return to Singapore."

Roach's profile on the Couchsurfing website, seen by The Straits Times, reveals that he is well travelled, having previously backpacked across Turkey and Iran.

A Couchsurfing user who hosted him in Turkey said: "He was with a woman companion... He was a backpacker and he really likes to travel."

His profile stated that he was planning a trip that would include stopovers in Norway and London, and possibly India or Sri Lanka.

Roach studied engineering in Calgary, and is from Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, in eastern Canada. Besides travelling, his interests include sports, reading and playing the piano.

On Wednesday, Thai immigration police chief Nathathorn Prousoontorn said that it would be possible for him to be extradited to Singapore, even though the two countries do not have an extradition treaty.

He clarified that Roach was detained because his right to stay in the country was cancelled after Singapore issued an arrest warrant.

Singapore has no extradition treaty with Thailand or Canada. In the event that Roach is deported to Canada, Singapore will have to pursue the case with the Canadian authorities.

they detained him on singapore request but the guy seek to be sent back to Canada due to crime committed overseas.

 

however, paper mentioned that the country usually dun accept such request due to their crime, hence thailand will then send him to singapore.

Air ticket to Singapore cheaper than to Canada?

fair enough, but why would they even bother about his request ?? Why need to tell the press ? 

 

And the police chief wants to interview him personally ?? This is just a normal crime with no blood nor even a scratch. I'm truly puzzled by the Thai police interest in it. Just a small open and shut case. Political mileage ?
