PHUKET: POLICE on Phuket are hunting an armed robber who wrestled a gun from a gold shop manager this afternoon and escaped with jewellery valued at 44 million baht.

The jewellery thief, wearing a baseball cap and a white Starbucks t-shirt, rode off on a motorcycle after taking the substantial haul from the Thanet gold shop in southern Phuket City.

The man entered the store near Suan Luang Park about 1pm. When the daughter of the owner pulled a gun, the man wrestled the gun from her and fled with the weapon. The gold has been valued at 44 million baht.

The manager, who was in the store with a female staff member, noted the number plate on the motorcycle. Police say it was rented from Patong.

The motorcycle was found soon after, near the Phuket City Sunday market.

Police at the Tachatchai Checkpoint leading off Phuket are double-checking all vehicles in case the man was picked up as part of the getaway.

Security cameras are believed to have captured the man's face.
