On Phuket, a 70-year-old German was tied up in his house by robbers and stabbed in the arm with a knife by two men. The perpetrators took off with the two ATM cards belonging to him and his Thai wife.

The dark woman's wife, Chuthaporn, 50, told police she returned to her home in Tambon Rassada around 17.00 p.m. and discovered two Thai men aged 20-25 with knives in her home. She saw that her German husband was bound with black tape and wounded on his arm.

The two robbers demanded the couple's valuables, but since they don't have any, they had to hand over their debit card with PIN code. The robbers fled around 17.20:XNUMX p.m. through the back door, after which she called the police.

Ms. Chuthaporn called the bank to have the two accounts blocked and was told that 17.56 baht had been withdrawn from her Kasikorn bank account at 1.900:XNUMX pm.

The police are investigating.

    I had given them the wrong pin code.

      With a wrong pin code, they would have come back 1 week later to put it in his other arm.
