Five armed men forced their way into a Pattaya home on Monday night and robbed Chinese tourists of cash and valuables worth about 10 million baht, police said.

The hold-up in the Siam Royal View housing estate in Bang Lamung district was reported to local police about 10pm.

Siam Royal View is situated on a hill and comprises luxury homes costing more than 10 million baht each.

 

The victims told police there were five armed men. In total, the gang stole about 10 million baht from them.

The men also ransacked the house in search of more valuables before fleeing through the back door.

 It was not clear how many Chinese people were in the house at the time and who owned the house.

Police were still questioning the Chinese victims with the help of interpreters.

Police said they would examine recordings from security cameras at the housing estate for clues to the robbers.
