A British national, who was the fourth and final suspect in the 2-million-baht robbery case in Pattaya, has been arrested in Bang Lamung district.

A police team arrested Brandon Tyler Garrett, 26, at a house in Bang Lamung district on Tuesday.

Nong Prue investigators have ended their investigation into the safe robbery in Pattaya following the arrest of Mr Garrett.

Earlier, three British suspects involved in the robbery were arrested separately.

Jermaine Palmer, 20, was arrested at Padang Besar immigration checkpoint in Songkhla. Christopher Erunce, 38, was apprehended at Don Mueang Airport and Cambell Chapman Tiehoule Jr, also known as Michael, 32, was arrested at a hotel in Buri Ram.

The incident, which occurred in late February, involved a group of armed men who stormed a townhouse in Bang Lamung district and threatened a British chef and his Thai wife before taking a safe containing about 2 million baht in cash.

After the incident, police reviewed CCTV footage and gathered witness statements, eventually securing arrest warrants for four suspects.
