With no extradition treaty between Thailand and Singapore, things are complicated in the case for David James Roach, the Canadian suspect who allegedly robbed $30,000 from a Standard Chartered bank in Holland Village.
Time is running out — authorities can't keep the 27-year-old man in the country for long, because they merely cancelled his right to stay in Thailand. Currently detained at Bangkok's Suan Plu Immigration Detention Centre, Roach has refused to cooperate with the investigations, requesting to speak only to the Canadian embassy.
