Daily News Thai Caption: Five arrested for abduction of 16 year old

 

Region 1 police working with the Pak Kret constabulary announced the arrest of five people allegedly involved in the abduction and beating of a 16 year old.

 

They all denied the brazen attack that left the boy on the verge of death by the side of the road in Nonthaburi. 

 

They were arrested at a house in Bangkok, reported Daily News.

 

The boy had opened a bank account for a gang then had used the money himself. It amounted to 340,000 baht.

 

Police have been dusting for prints on two vehicles, a Fortuner and a Mazda that were used in the abduction.

 

Deputy Region 1 chief Pol Maj-gen Pheerapong Wongsaman said that police were investigating what Fluke - the boy - was doing with the account. 

 

People who open accounts for mafia style gangs to use in money laundering often do not know what is going on but some do know. 

 

Investigations continue with four more people being sought including someone who discharged a weapon at the scene and a woman who was also involved.

A 16 year old spending 340,000 baht, that's would buy an awful lot of acne cream.

He would have been better off hiring some protection.

Pretty sure the local hookers, alcohol sellers and phone shops got most of it

If he knicked 340k of "laundry money" then he should consider himself lucky that all he copped thus far has been a flogging. I suspect he might end up in a coffin if he doesn't pay the principle and interest. This story hasn't reached the final chapter yet, 340k is a lot of money for some here and people are executed for far less sums of money.

Even though he is only kid at 16yo, it is hard for me not to feel that the beating was well deserved.

Yes he is a kid but 340,000 Baht is 340,000 Baht, it's a lot of money locally and for most Thais, it's more than their life savings.

I find that hard to believe.
