Three Thais Escaping Forced Labor Arrested for Stealing Car: Police

[geovalin]

Three Thai workers being transported from Kandal to Preah Sihanouk stole the car as their driver was outside urinating and tried to drive home to Thailand in order to escape from casino work where they were allegedly detained and unpaid, police said. “According to their confession, they had no salary, and we don’t know whether they lied to us or not,” said Takeo province’s Tram Kak district police deputy Sok Sochea.

 

“Their casino boss wanted to send them back to Sihanouk, and they said they did not intend to steal the car to sell, but they wanted to escape from working in the casino because they didn’t have freedom and [the casino] detained them without providing their salary.” Sochea added that the three Thai nationals were arrested penniless.

 

“They didn’t have a single cent and they had only plastic bags of clothes,” he said. “They don’t have passports. They could have been cheated, and, simply, I think they have been sold. We had to buy them food since they didn’t have money with them.” “I’m not sure about the procedure and I made a report for stealing a car.”
