On September 26 at 1:30 PM, Immigration Bureau officials in Muang Thong Thani, led by Pol. Maj. Gen. Panthana Nuchnarot and Pol. Maj. Gen. Praphansak Prasansook, arrested a Vietnamese gang involved in kidnapping and extortion. The victims were a 33-year-old Thai woman, Ms. Suchada (alias), and a 21-year-old Taiwanese man, Mr. Li.

 

Authorities were tipped off about a group holding the two victims captive to extort over 1.7 million baht. The gang threatened their lives and inflicted serious physical harm.

 

Investigations revealed that the Vietnamese group, involved in cryptocurrency trading, lured the victims to a house in Ladprao 41, Bangkok, with the intent of completing a US$ transaction.

 

However, when Mr. Li failed to transfer the agreed money, citing involvement with another individual, the gang abducted and tortured both victims.


The police tracked the gang to a warehouse in Suphan Buri and later raided the Ladprao residence, rescuing the victims. Nine Vietnamese suspects, including gang leaders Mr. Pham Van and Mr. Pham Ngoc, were arrested. The police confiscated a revolver, 33 rounds of ammunition, and two vehicles used in the crime.

 

The victims reported brutal treatment, including beatings with metal rods, strangulation, and threats of amputation. Mr. Li had transferred 990 US$, but the gang demanded the full amount, threatening to kill them if payment wasn't made.

The suspects are being charged with abduction, extortion, and other related crimes. Investigations revealed the gang's involvement in illegal cannabis farming in Suphan Buri. Both victims and perpetrators will face legal proceedings for overstaying their visas and other offenses.

 

After the operation, the victims expressed their gratitude to the police for the successful rescue.
