Thaivisa News Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Pattaya, Chon Buri:- Two Russian men have been arrested for having allegedly used fake credit cards to buy goods in Pattaya. The arrest of Temur Rustamov, 35, and Evgeny Titov, 27, were announced by Chon Buri deputy police chief Pol Col Pratya Prasarnsuk and Pattaya police chief Pol Col Sukthat Pumphanmuang at 1 pm Tuesday. Police displayed 79 plastic cards with magnetic strips, a notebook computer and a device for reading and writing information on magnetic strip of a plastic card. Pratya said police were alerted by officials from Kasikorn Bank that a foreigner had used fake credit cards to buy goods from department stores in Pattaya. He ordered Chon Buri’s Economic Crime Suppression office chief Pol Lt Chitdecha Songhong to conduct an investigation. Chitdecha’s team later found that Rustamov had bought luxurious brands clothes inside the Central Festival shopping mall on the Pattaya Beach Road. Police later found that Rustamov was buying plane tickets to Dubai from a tour company on Soi 13 off the 2nd Pattaya Road so police rushed to the firm and arrested him and found many fake credit cards on him. Rustamov implicated Titov. Rustamov said he got the fake cards from Titov so police raided an apartment on Soi 10 on the South Pattaya Road and arrested the second Russian. Police found more fake credit cards and the electronic-strip writing device and a notebook computer in Titov’s room. Following an interrogation, Titov admitted that he got the fake cards from Russia. He said the cards were written with information stolen from foreigners’ credit cards. Pratya said the two Russians had allegedly caused damage worth about Bt1 million. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

balo Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Well done RTP. You deserve to hear it when you fight criminals in Pattaya. Not an easy job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWorldwide Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 we would all be better off if the old curtain was put back in place ,.....who needs e'm anyway , is there ever a positive story about russians ?! No, because PattayaOne and the other news agencies have no interest in positive stories about anyone. If a Russian couple spends a week or two in Pattaya to escape the tail end of the long Siberian Winter and flies home without incident, its not exactly newsworthy, is it ? Common sense says they cant all be criminals, despite the stereotypes here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
