Alleged StanChart bank robber revealed to be 26-year-old Canadian David James Roach

Well, well, looks like someone’s finally outed. The identity of the man who successfully robbed a Standard Chartered bank has been revealed, and he looks like a young punk. 

Thanks to Lianhe Wanbao and their feverish intensity in breaking the news, his name and resting bitch face has been revealed to the public. The alleged bank robber who was apprehended in Bangkok last Sunday is none other than 26-year-old David James Roach. 

The picture itself — a screen-grab presumably from a security camera — was first published by Thai media outlet Nation TV. But no word from the authorities if this was indeed the person they’ve detained. 

Interpol Bangkok head Police Major-General Apichat Suriboonya revealed to Channel NewsAsia that the Canadian man is a regular visitor to Thailand, but his trip to Singapore (where he made off with $30,000 in a simple heist) was reportedly his first. 

More details to be revealed at a press conference in Thailand tomorrow.
