The sexagenarian is also suspected to be a contract killer in Malaysia, with approximately 10 victims linked to him
Earlier news reports revealed that Yee was also suspected of being linked to a gold heist in Penang 20 years ago.
He allegedly fled to Thailand after stealing gold worth around 50 million baht (equivalent to RM6.4 million today), reported the New Straits Times.
In January 2017, the man robbed another gold shop in Hat Yai, the Thai Yindee 2 gold shop, located across from the Thai Udom 2 shop, the site of his recent heist.
He carried out the robbery under the Thai alias Anucha Saeyeoh and was deported to Malaysia after his release from prison on 22 September 2023, reported Bangkok Post.
