Captive Cambodian Girls Freed by Pattaya Police

PATTAYA:--Three young Cambodian girls were held captive in a Pattaya apartment by a Thai man, until they were later freed by police. The man promised the girls he would take them to see their mother who works in Pattaya, but he locked them in the room.

PATTAYA – August 29, 2012 [PDN]; at 2:30 a.m., a report of three Cambodian girls being detained in a South Pattaya apartment was received by Pol. Sub. Lt. Varakorn Bannasit, Deputy Inspector, section 2; and Pol. Sub. Lt. Suriya Kheawlalim, Deputy Inspector, Banglamung police station, Nong Preu branch.

Together with a police team they rushed to the scene at Mae Norm apartments, address 67/43 in Soi Sukhumvit Pattaya 77, Sukhumvit road, before the entrance of Wat Thamsamakkee, south Pattaya Moo 13 Tambon Nong Preu, Amphur Banglamung, Chonburi province.

A tenant of the building informed police that three Cambodian girls were being detained in room number 56 on the fourth floor. However, police discovered that the front door of the room was locked by the big lock.

The three girls inside were crying and frightened as they called for people outside the room to help them. The police went outside the building, and tried to ask the three girls from the window whether they had relatives or someone with the key who could open the door of their room.

But the three girls could not speak Thai or English, and spoke only Cambodian. So police could not communicate with them. However, helpful residents located someone who could speak Cambodian, so the person called the girls on the phone.

You would have thought they would watch the room until.the Thai man came back then arrest him.. Maybe they did but I suspect he was warned before hand.m
