In a dramatic turn of events, Thai police have arrested two Chinese nationals involved in a sophisticated gang targeting car owners using signal jammers. The suspects, 38-year-old Zhang Jin and 31-year-old Zheng Hong, were caught in the act at a motorway rest stop in Chachoengsao province.

 

The arrests were the result of a meticulous investigation into a spate of car thefts plaguing the area. Authorities had long suspected a Chinese gang behind the crimes, devising a strategy to capture the elusive culprits.

 

The gang's modus operandi involved operating in pairs. One would distract the car owner while the other used a signal jammer to prevent the vehicle from locking. Once the coast was clear, they would proceed to steal any valuables left inside.

 

 

 

 

During the arrest, police seized several pieces of equipment, including signal jammers and mobile phones, as well as a vehicle utilized by the suspects. A subsequent search of a condominium linked to the gang revealed ketamine, adding another layer to the criminal activities.

 

While Zheng Hong confessed to the crimes, Zhang Jin maintained his innocence. Authorities believe this gang isn’t working in isolation but may have ties to an international call centre syndicate. Stolen credit cards were allegedly used for fraudulent purchases abroad, broadening the scope of their criminal enterprise.

 

This arrest is a significant victory for Thai law enforcement, as it sends a clear message about their zero-tolerance stance on sophisticated criminal activities.

Misleading headline.

They don't steal cars but steal valuables from the cars.

Amateurs 🤣

Real high tech pros use sophisticated devices to read and forward "fob" signals for keyless go cars and drive away with the car.

Cost of New Immigration Policy(since July 24, this year).

More Visa-Waivers(now from 93 countries) than ever(used to be 57 nations).

Open arms are often taken advantage of, by the Unwanted.
