Thai immigration authorities have arrested an Australian national at Suvarnabhumi Airport after biometric checks revealed he was wanted in connection with an armed robbery case in Phuket.

 

At approximately 20:30 on 3 May, officers from the Immigration Division 2 (Immigration Bureau) were alerted by airport immigration officials about a suspicious traveller, identified only as Mr Mc, an Australian citizen. He had arrived in Thailand on Thai Airways flight TG432, from Denpasar, Indonesia and was scheduled to board a connecting flight to Phuket TG225.

 

Upon verifying his identity through the immigration biometric system, officers discovered that Mr Mc was listed as a prohibited person under immigration record number A071102.

 

The arrest follows orders from Police Lieutenant General Phanumart Boonyaluck, Commissioner of the Immigration Bureau and his deputy, Police Major General Thanit Thaiwatcharamat, who instructed officers to intensify security screening of international passengers. Police Major General Cherngron Rimphadee, Commander of Immigration Division 2, was assigned to oversee the enforcement operation.

Initial attempts to contact the investigating officer in charge of the original case, Police Lieutenant Colonel Prasit, were unsuccessful. However, further coordination with Police Lieutenant Colonel Chaiwat Chantasuwan, Deputy Superintendent of Chalong Police Station in Phuket, confirmed that an arrest warrant had been issued by the Phuket Provincial Court.

 

The warrant, number J.326/2568 dated 2 May 2025, accuses Mr Mc of “armed robbery using a firearm and using a vehicle to commit the offence.”

 

The suspect was taken into custody without incident and has since been handed over to the relevant authorities for further legal proceedings.

 

Thai authorities reiterated their commitment to national security and maintaining rigorous screening procedures for all individuals entering and exiting the country.

in simpler words they tried to call the officer who issued the warrant to arrest and no one answered so they waited and call later in which they got confirmation this was the man wanted.

The warrant was issued on May 2, and he arrived back in Thailand on May 3.

 

The timing is odd. When did the alleged offence take place?

Good--in that criminals, of any nationality, are being caught.   Good also that the Belgium running amok was deported.  

[Bruce Aussie]

He not a real Australian. Real Australians are black. Looks like he going on a date with the cop.😀

It's pathetic is everyone in Thai police force a jumped up officer, are there no ordinary constables. Reminds me of Dick Dastardly dog Muttley, gimi, gimi, a medal. I can't take them seriously 🤣😅🤣

Perhaps where you live but in many places it's just a form of decoration. Do try not to be so judgeMENTAL.
