Turban was a disguise.

Why would a robber blow up the pawn shop if he's going to rob it? And blow up himself at the same time? It's not a robbery anymore. It's stupidity at play. Want to rob or want to blow it up? Make up your mind.

 

This guy never watch any robbery related movies? Always wear a ski mask.

Wah lao, wear a pink turban. Where got scary? No wonder fail.

Thai Attorney-General's Office says it is 'not in the position to consider' request to send Canadian to S'pore

Singapore's efforts to extradite a suspect in the Holland Village bank heist have hit a snag in Thailand. The Attorney-General's Office in Bangkok has rejected its request for Canadian national David James Roach.

 

"We denied it because we are not in the position to consider it," said Mr Amnat Chotchai, director-general of the international affairs department at the Attorney General's Office. He did not elaborate on the reasons.

 

Roach, 27, is accused of robbing the Holland Village branch of Standard Chartered Bank on July 7, by allegedly handing the teller a note which said he had a weapon.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

He flew from Singapore to Bangkok on the day of the robbery, but was detained by Thai police three days later. The Thai authorities revoked his right to stay here, and he has been held at Bangkok's immigration detention centre since then.

 

It is unclear if there are other avenues that would allow Roach to be flown from Bangkok to Singapore to face trial. The two countries have not signed an extradition treaty.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As an immigration offender in Thailand, he would be deported back to Canada if he cannot be extradited. This would mean Singapore would have to pursue the case with Canadian officials. But that could be complicated by the lack of an extradition treaty between the two countries.

 

Thailand's immigration police chief Nathathorn Prousoontorn said he was waiting for a final decision on the matter, but could not hold Roach for much longer. Thai police are required to deport immigration offenders as soon as it is reasonable to do so.

 

"The Canadian government wants us to deport him back to Canada," he told The Straits Times. "Immigration (police) can't detain him for a long time. It has been a month. We have to make a decision."

 

According to Mr Amnat, the Attorney-General's Office was now processing a request by Singapore police to examine the items found on Roach in Thailand. This has not been concluded, he said.

 

Singapore police, when contacted, said they are still working with the Thai authorities on the matter.

Roach was arrested on July 9 in Bangkok's Boxpackers Hostel after Singapore police alerted their Thai counterparts. Thai police said he was found with 700,000 baht (S$27,000) in cash, as well as a notebook containing a detailed escape plan that included stopovers in Chiang Mai and Dubai. Also in the notebook was the same message found on the note used in the robbery.

 

While the contents of the note have never been made public, it has been reported by Shin Min Daily News as: "This is a robbery, I have a weapon, give me money, don't call police." The teller handed over $30,000 before alerting the police.

If got rotan, then UK will not extradite. I'll have to agree with Shame this time. Can jail him better than let him off or face a lengthy cross border judicial see saw

ok, question is jail how long?

 

 

this type robbery under the law max is how long? Embarrassed the country big time, so dun think he will be let off lightly right? Esp if no cane... see if they will max it up...

I was browsing pics of this David Roach to see what he is before he became a robber.

 

He's the typical travel anywhere and find work here and there to get by. He even has travelling friends.

Looks fit, right or not?

 

Now look at him after he got caught.

Looks visibly thin, right? Like haven't eat for days or longer.

The first thing after he robbed the bank he head straight to a nearby cafe to eat.

Look at him. Look so thin compared to previous pics.

 

After spending time in Thailand's prison he more or less recover his weight.

 

After 2 years ppl are only interested in going after this fellow but nobody stop and ask why he rob a bank. I mean he obviously is after the money cos he's so broke he haven't eat for days but what's his motive. Why does he not ask his parents and friends for help? It's kinda weird why he resort to doing this. Some might think it's a prank gone wrong but if you look at his physique he looks desperately thin and in a daze. I wonder what's his story.

StanChart robber David Roach sentenced to jail in Singapore 5 years after high-profile bank heist and escape.

Canadian David James Roach, 31, was given five years' jail and six strokes of the cane. He pleaded guilty to one charge of robbery and a second charge of transferring the criminal proceeds out of Singapore.

I thought he will not be given the rotan when MFA nego for his extradition from UK?? LoL...guess not.

The thing is what made him do it? I still dont get it? Why only $30K? Such a specific amount and how come he knows there will be 30K in the teller's drawer. I have not come across robbery movies that robbers ask for a specific amount. 

Guess we will never know. Case close for the spf. Hooray!
