might of been easier to just ask your family for money instead of extorting them.

Made up a story about being kidnapped!

 

A recent incident involving a young Englishman claiming abduction for ransom has led to a collaborative effort between the Royal Thai Police (RTP) and Interpol.

 

The unfolding drama occurred as the man, accompanied by four foreign friends, was residing in a Pattaya hotel room, reported Daily News .

 

During a subsequent police search, both narcotics and unregistered firearms were discovered. Allegedly, the group had fabricated a kidnapping story to extort money from their families, unaware of the serious consequences they would face.

 

On January 26, Pol. Lt. Gen. Tetsakan Sathasivan, RTP Commissioner, issued a directive for a crackdown, supervised by Pol. Col. Montree Thetkhan, Deputy Commander of RTP, and Pol. Lt. Col. Sarawut Saengjun, Commander of Special Operations Unit 2.

 

The operation resulted in the apprehension of Mr. Ian and Mr. Damien, British nationals facing charges of drug possession and illegal firearm possession. Another Englishman, Mr. Darren, is similarly charged with drug-related offenses.

 

The investigation revealed that the group, grappling with financial difficulties during their prolonged stay in Thailand, devised a plan to deceive their families into sending money by fabricating a kidnapping.

 

Despite uncovering drugs and firearms in the hotel room, the police operation found no evidence of an actual abduction. The suspects now await legal proceedings under Thai law.
