Five suspects flee country after B37m robbery of Turk in Pattaya
Police are seeking help from Chinese authorities and Interpol to arrest five suspects who fled Thailand within hours after robbing a Turkish businessman of cryptocurrency, cash and valuables worth 37 million baht at his luxury home in Pattaya.
On 6 October 2026, a group of thieves raided a luxurious home in the Nong Prue district of Bang Lamung, Chonburi, Thailand. The armed robbers, disguised in black with face coverings, entered the residence, threatened the occupants, and stole valuables worth over 37 million baht. The victims included a Turkish businessman, Kutay Aslan, 34, and a Myanmar national employed as a cleaner.
The suspects managed to escape the jurisdiction, leading to a massive police operation. They were identified as Dong Ping, 38, Lixinle, 31, Wang Hongbo, 32, Mu Hongda, 33, and Zhiyu Wang, 31. Police gathered evidence such as CCTV footage, seized items, witness statements, vehicle and rental records, and compared clothing descriptions to the recovered pieces.
Despite the thorough investigation, the suspects had already fled the country. Police have now issued arrest warrants for all five individuals. Authorities are working with Chinese authorities and seeking Interpol Red Notices to locate the suspects and bring them back to face prosecution in Thailand. The investigation is also focused on tracing the flow of stolen assets, particularly cryptocurrency, watches, and other valuable items.
