Four Chinese nationals escape suspected trafficking route in Tak

Four Chinese nationals were rescued in Mae Sot, Tak, after local residents helped them when they fled from a pickup truck they said was transporting them to Myanmar. The group, made up of two men and two women, told police they had been deceived into coming to Thailand and were being trafficked onward across the border. CCTV reportedly showed one man forcing open a door and helping the others escape before the driver fled the scene. Police later checked their travel documents and found they had entered Thailand in Chiang Mai on March 6 before being taken to Tak. After the rescue, they were sent onward to Bangkok, where arrangements were made for their return to China.
