So the commotion surrounding the Standard Chartered bank robbery in Holland Village on July 7 has died down, but Singapore is still going strong in its efforts to extradite Canadian national David James Roach, the key suspect in the heist. The 27-year-old allegedly gave the bank teller a note that said he was carrying a weapon, and fled the country that same day with the stolen $30,000.
Roach arrived in Bangkok and stayed at a hostel, but was found and detained by the Thai police three days later. Since then, he has been held at Bangkok's immigration detention centre.
Unfortunately, Bangkok has now rejected our extradition request.
