Two armed robbers stormed a gold shop inside a shopping mall in Chiang Khong district of Chiang Rai province on Tuesday afternoon, firing a shot into the air before making off with five trays of gold jewellery.

The suspects, both wearing face masks and sunglasses to conceal their identities, entered the mall at around 16:00. One of them allegedly jumped over the counter and grabbed the gold while the other stood guard with a firearm and threatened shop staff and security personnel.

The pair fled the scene on a rented motorcycle, which was later found abandoned on the banks of the Mekong River. Police have launched an investigation and are hunting for the suspects. #ThailandNews #ChiangRai #GoldRobbery
