A summary of the investigation into the Lop Buri gold shop heist, in which three people were killed, is expected to go to prosecutors this week, according to the Crime Suppression Division (CSD). Police investigators are working at full steam to piece together the high-profile case, said Pol Col Somkwan Puengsap, the CSD deputy chief. Police swooped after tip-offs and a clue about the gun used in the crime helped identify Mr Prasittichai as the prime suspect. Mr Prasittichai claimed he threw the silencer into the Chao Phraya River in Sing Buri's Muang district. It was reported that Mr Prasittichai had borrowed two million baht from the teachers cooperative and a commercial bank and recently paid off some of the debt but still owed 1.7 million baht.
