Police hunt for four foreigners

Arrest warrants have been issued for four foreigners suspected of stealing a diamond necklace worth Bt5 million from a jewellery store in Siam Paragon Department Store, Pathum Wan police said Sunday.

The four foreigners, one of whom is a woman, are seen in video images from a security camera in Blue River Diamonds, said Police Lt-Colonel Akhom Janthalach, a deputy chief of the police station.

Warrants could not be issued against two other foreign men who entered the store shortly before the necklace went missing because they could not be seen clearly enough in video captures.

The officer said the four appeared to be from the Middle East judging from the video captures but spoke English among themselves according to store clerks.
