Thai immigration announced the arrest of a Filipino couple wanted in their home country for car theft.

 

Louis and Auria (names transliterated from Thai and possibly incorrect) were both named in Interpol Red Notices after theft cases in 2017.

 

An international crime task force headed by Pol Maj-Gen Atchayon Kraithong received information that they had been named in a warrant in the Philippines. 

 

They entered Thailand two times in November and December 2019 and had sought to extend their visas as teachers at a school in Bangkok.

 

They were arrested at a condominium in Seri Thai Road, Beung Kum on the grounds that they were a danger to Thai society.

 

They have had their visas revoked and will be deported back to the Philippines, reported Daily News at a Suan Phlu press briefing yesterday.

Not on the grounds of having an arrest warrant for them?

So border control didn't seem to pick this one up?

Filipino car thieves warrant an interpol red notice?

 

I found this hard to believe but...

and then a search of Nationality, Philippines doesn't show these folks, maybe because they've been nabbed?

In my mind, no proof just a big hunch, a lot of the information being said last few years on these arrest stories is made up, to impress or scare, whatever the propaganda message, there was a big difference between the arrest of gamblers of china today, looks a normal story,  then this story, nothing adds up, red notice for car theft? , maybe they were waiting for work permits and arrested that way, either way the chinese looks to be a real criminal arrest, the phillapinas arrest, looks exagerrated for effect
