54 Foreign Scammers Flee Myanmar Siege, Surrender in Thailand

TAK, Nov 20 (TNA) - Fifty-four foreign nationals, identified as scammers working at Myanmar's notorious KK Park, illegally crossed the Moei River into Thailand and surrendered to authorities in Tak province.

The individuals fled after the Myanmar military launched a siege and subsequently bombed the Myawaddy-based cyber-scam compound.

The escapees were apprehended in two groups in Mae Sot district: 39 individuals—mostly Pakistanis and Africans—and 15 Chinese nationals. 

All detainees confirmed they were fleeing the military operation at KK Park, which is known as a major hub for global scam operations. -819 (TNA)
