webfact Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 A swift police operation on illegal immigration in Songkhla, a province in southern Thailand, resulted in the apprehension of 23 individuals yesterday. Four of them were Thai citizens acting as drivers, and the remaining nineteen were Bangladeshis, who were identified as unlawful immigrants. Following an informant’s tip-off about chances of illegal immigration, the local law enforcement swung into action, anticipating a group of illicit immigrants being transported from Samut Prakan to Malaysia via Songkhla. Acting on this information, at approximately 5.30pm, the immigration police strategically tailed five cars: A black Toyota Innova; a grey Toyota Altis; a red Toyota Altis; a Toyota Fortuner; and a Toyota Camry; and successfully halted them on the Asian highway between Rattaphum and Bang Klam districts. The individuals behind the wheel, four Thai drivers, three men and a woman, were immediately taken into custody. The woman was 48 year old Falada Suriyachat, hailing from Pathum Thani province. The men included: 49 year old Kittisak Mangkorn; from Kanchanaburi; 27 year old Rangsan Supan, from Yasothon, and 43 year old Sunthorn Kanungnit, from Nakhon Ratchasima. The identity or whereabouts of the fifth driver involved in the illegal immigration scheme is still unknown, as they fled the scene. by Mitch Connor Photo by Assawin Pakkawan, Bangkok Post Full story: https://thethaiger.com/hot-news/crime/thai-police-apprehend-23-in-crackdown-on-illegal-bangladeshi-migration -- © Copyright Thaiger 2023-06-23 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.
