He started researching on ways to rob a store from the internet. He prepared by getting a helmet, mask. And used tape to wrap around his fingers. He used a knife to threaten the employees at the stores. The first robbery took place at 2.30 am on 14 June 2022. He managed to get away with some cash. After receiving notification officials went to inspect the store.

The robber used the same method including a sharp knife to threated employees. He managed to get away with 7,000 THB in the second robbery.
