Aussie man and Thai woman wanted in Phuket for fraud arrested in Khon Kaen

Apprehended in front of the Police Station?

I suppose their idea was to choose the best place to hide out, or operate out of.

It's called "Hiding in plain sight." Works sometimes. He is a fairly distinctive fellow with the tats, crutch and all. Perhaps not the sharpest knives in the drawer. She doesn't look too happy but he looks like he thinks it will all turn out peachy.

Arrest warrants out for them, and they happen to stroll by a Police station and immediately get caught. Can this story be real?

It might have been the army overseer's day on the door & he had their pix or had seen their pix. He is a real distinctive fella.

Well there was actually a quite famous bank robber in Australia called the Postcard Bandit who had a penchant for having his photo taken outside Police Stations or sometimes outside of the bank he had robbed.  He has even been known to ask passing coppers to take his photo for him with the copshop in the background.  He would then have the photo developed and would make a postcard out of it and address it to the copshop.  I think Brendan Abbott was his name??  He got away with it for years.
