THAI POLICE NAB 6 MALAYSIANS FOR CHEATING CASES IN 8 COUNTRIES
BANGKOK, Sept 28 (Bernama) -– Thai police have detained six Malaysians including a woman here on Tuesday to facilitate investigations into cheating cases in eight countries.
Tourist Police Deputy Director Lieutenant-Colonel Satit Promuthai said the suspects were picked up at Suphalai Park at about 11am.
He said initial investigations revealed the victims, after being hoodwinked into investing in the stock market to settle alleged debts or into making payments to avoid legal action by the authorities, transferred their money, via automated teller machines, into the accounts of the suspects.
The police were investigating the number of victims from Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia and China and the money collected by the suspects, he added.
"We are tracing the details through the computer, modem and documents confiscated from them, Satit said, adding the group's activities have been under the Thai police radar over the past one month, following an alert by China's police.
