Thaivisa News Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Krabi:- Two Frenchmen have been arrested in Krabi for having allegedly using fake credit cards to withdraw cash from ATM machines in Krabi and Phang Nga and having marijuana in possession. Farhemour Adrien Charles Baptiste, 22, and Fraaland Julen Patrck, 21, were arrested Friday and Krabin Police chief Pol Maj Gen Nanthadej Yoinuanl hled a press conference at 9 pm Friday to announce it. Police also displayed 200 white cards, which been written with data stolen from credit cards of western people, 48 grams of marijuana, and Bt200,000 in cash at the press conference. Police also seized a Toyota Yaris car with Bangkok license plate from the two. Nanthadej said police planned the arrest after several banks filed complaints with the Krabi Police head office that some foreign criminals were using fake credit cards to draw cash from ATM machines in Tambon Bosaen in Phang Nga’s Tabpud district and in Krabi’s Aoluek and Muang districts since January. Nanthadej said the fake cards have been written with information stolen with skimmer machines in Europe. The banks complained that over Bt3 million have been stolen so far. On Friday, police were informed again that fake credit cards were used in Krabi’s Muang district so police prepare teams for making the arrest. After police checked footage of the ATM machines, police saw the two men’s face and saw their car so police alerted all stations nearby to watch out for the vehicle. Later on, the Toyota Yaris was spotted in Tambon Aonang so police chased after it and stopped the car at the Aonang police booth. Police found the fake cards and the drug and the cash in the car.

phoenixdoglover Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 The headline should read "Stupid, Stoned French Criminals Arrested". "Police also displayed 200 white cards, which been written with data stolen from credit cards of western people, 48 grams of marijuana..."
