Highway police in Nakhon Ratchasima, Thailand, have arrested three individuals connected with the kidnapping of a young man from Surin. The alleged kidnappers supposedly intended to extort 1 million baht. The suspects posed as investigator and threatened the victim’s girlfriend to pressure her into transferring the money.

 

The police received a tip-off that three men, pretending to be investigative officers, had abducted a person named Trakarn. The criminals then forced Trakarn into a black pickup truck and drove towards Nakhon Ratchasima. Police leadership instructed their teams to follow the getaway vehicle.

 

When the truck arrived at Mittraphap Road, Highway 2, heading towards Bangkok, the police noticed the black Isuzu D-Max pickup truck. Even though the police tried to stop the truck to interrogate the driver, he sped off, leading to a chase.

 

After a while, the police were successful in halting the truck. They discovered Trakarn Phonsalee, aged 23, who had been kidnapped from Surin.

 

The suspects consisted of 26-year-old Bannasit, claiming to be a commissioner investigating illicit activities; 26-year-old Kritchai, the driver; and a 16-year-old boy.

 

Trakarn reported that just after 11PM, three men approached him. They claimed to be politicians investigating powerful persons in Surin. They accused Trakarn of selling kratom leaves and demanded 1 million baht to avoid legal action.

 

Trakarn informed them he only had 500,000 baht and suggested they retrieve the cash from his girlfriend. The kidnappers dismissed this and forcefully dragged him into their truck, planning to take him to Bangkok.

 

The abductors used Trakarn’s cell phone to send intimidating messages to his girlfriend. They warned that Trakarn would be harmed if she didn't transfer the money. She was also given a bank account number for the transaction. After receiving the warnings, she quickly informed authorities, and the highway police swiftly intervened.

 

The alleged kidnappers are now in custody and are undergoing further investigation. Initial findings indicate that this group may have executed similar incidents against others. The authorities plan to expand their investigation to uncover more information.

No, those three are too busy on this forum to get involved in that sort of caper.
