While she was buying the coffee, one the four entered the car, grabbed the money and all four made off on rented motorbikes. They then took a bus headed for Malaysia.
Police followed their progress by CCTV and saw them boarding the Phuket-Songkhla bus. They contacted Songkhla police to arrest them, which they did at the Dan Sadao border crossing.
This afternoon the four - Muhammad Amin, Aldi Pratama, Yusuf Anwar and Tedi Usman bin Husin were paraded at a press conference before being taken to the cells to await their turn in front of the judge.
