4 Chinese, 25 Africans caught for crimes
The Nation

BANGKOK: -- Immigration police yesterday announced the arrest of a Chinese couple who allegedly embezzled Bt40 million before fleeing to Thailand, where they have lain low for nine years.

The suspects, identified as Guan Hui Jong, 53, and Li Xiu Ling, 52, were arrested on Saturday in Thanyaburi in Pathum Thani province, according to the arrest warrant in Shanghai.

Police found that the couple had embezzled some money from Hai Hang Tian Co to invest in the stock market in January 2003 but lost the money and were thus unable to return it to the company.

In July 2004, the couple again embezzled 790,000 RMB from the company and fled to Malaysia, before escaping to Thailand and lived here in hiding for nine years, police said. Chinese police claim the couple caused 8 million RMB (Bt40 million) in total damage to the company.

Separately, two 30-year-old Chinese twin brothers Yhee Poh and Yhee Tao, who were wanted by Chinese authorities for trading in arms, were arrested on Sunday. The twins were implicated by Chinese Internet buyers, who were arrested earlier along with 55 guns and over 20,000 bullets.

Meanwhile, police rounded up 25 African crime suspects last month - 22 men and three women. Four of these suspects allegedly carried fake passports; one allegedly possessed narcotics; 12 overstayed their visas, five allegedly lived illegally in Thailand; and two did not state their current addresses according to the 1979 Immigration Act, while another had his visa revoked.

Lain low for 9 years.

Well if returned to China for trial one can only but presume they will shortly be laying low permanently.

Good. More of it needed. The military rule is really showing how incompetent the police and elected governments have been.

Now that is good news, keep it up General Prayuth.

well done keeping up the good work may help people change their perception of you..but it will take eons really..but well done anyway...

Pretty amazing that so much crime is being detected all of a sudden.....maybe we just havn't seen a lot of this in the media....maybe also I'm a little sceptical at all the happenings..hopefully I shouldn't be.....but whatever...it's very good news for Thailand

And some of them on their stomachs I presume...

Well, looks like our husbands of red shirt gals don't have much to say, clearing seeing that since Prayuth came in, things are getting done finally. That means certainly not PTP, and definitely not the police.

As I said before I am not a fan of the coup but seeing that Thailand gets cleaned up shows that the military wants to clean up Thailand including the narcotics trade, illegal gambling etc.

I love the colour-coding of the already coloured guys:-)

Eons? Not really! Try nano seconds

General Prayuth and his merry men have done more good for Thailand in under two weeks than almost anyone before them.

Yet the western press and especially America seem to want an election that could bring back Thaksin. Have they forgotten that Thaksin was the one who ordered the massacre of almost 3000 of his own people without due process, a basic human right in America, a basic of democracy.

Oh thank you General, thank you General!

Yes, now clean up prostitution, illegal gambling, arms trading, yaba possession and trading...in general, clean up this sewer of a country without affecting local pocketbooks, if you can and if you dare.

Oh and start building more prisons fast, let's say for 10 million people. Making Phuket an island prison might be enough in the short-run.

Possibly the most pedantic post I have ever seen on TV.

As a matter of interest are you aware that the Constabulary are more closely aligned with the PDRC, Yellow shirt, Bangkok elite... call them what you want. The Constabulary (police), are one of the institutions, that for eons have served the people in the big chairs. Just in case you weren't aware.

Don't forget. America at the moment is the America of Obama and his ilk. You don't matter unless you are Muslim, or a wealthy liberal, williing to spend dollars to keep the libs in power.

"..........clean up this sewer of a country........"

I am curious as to why you choose to live in a sewer elzach?

Good. More of it needed. The military rule is really showing how incompetent the police and elected governments have been.

Yes indeed. It just shows what a good job the army Immigration Police did there.

Oh thank you General, thank you General!

Were you kneeling on the floor, wringing your hands while making that nonsense, sucky up post..?

Sorry looks that way---they are doing good because they have to, for a change work according to their job descriptions. Overlooked by the army they are on the ball or they will be working at 7-11.

With all these gleeful praiseworthy posts coming from complete newbies, I would lay low on the sarcasm.

The army has a battery of people for internet propaganda.

Aside from the chinese all but one of the Africans are being deported for immigration offences .... I guess the crime busters are starting with the easy ones first and will then work their way up to things like narcotics, illegal gambling etc.

Any black man in SEA had better make sure they have all their papers in order ....

I'm married with a child here and I have a hard time sorting out my work permit and visa.

Why the police have allowed a little community of African criminals form their own neighborhood down in Sukumvit because someone high up is getting paid off by the right people is an utter disgrace.

Yes, but do they have to be so obviously brown-nosey?
