Police also found two red empty trays that belonged to the gold shop and the suspect’s gun, which turned out to be a BB gun, scattered around the forest.

An unnamed resident of Soi Sukhumvit 18 said he heard dogs barking last night, but he did not know that the dogs barked at the suspect until Pattaya police came to him to watch his CCTV cameras.
Chonburi police have been ordered to put their guards up for a possible repeat offense, especially in populous areas such as Bangsaen and Pattaya, while the suspect is still on the loose.
Police will also set up special units to patrol weak spots around the province.
