Bangkok:- Immigration police have arrested a Malaysian man for having allegedly used fake credit cards to buy luxurious goods with intent to take them back to sell in Malaysia.

The arrest of Chia Bing Hah, 24, was announced at the press conference room of the immigration office at the Don Mueang International Airport at 11 pm Wednesday by Pol Col Nattee Mahuemueang, the commander of the Don Mueang immigration office.

Displayed along with the suspect were 11 fake credit cards of some foreign banks, an iPad tablet computer, three iPhone 6 Plus smartphones, and a luxurious leather belt. The goods were worth over Bt200,000.

Nattee said his immigration office was alerted by Sirichai Sathitchaiphairsarn, head of an investigative division of Kasikorn Bank, that a foreigner used fake credit cards at Jaymart shop at CentralWorld shopping mall at 4 pm Wednesday.

The immigration police checked and found that the Malaysian man had used a credit card to book a plane ticket to return to Malaysia Wednesday evening. He was scheduled to fly Flight OD523 of Malindo Air from the Don Mueang airport at 7:10 pm.

At 6 pm, Chia Bing turned up at an immigration counter to submit his document for clearing to leave the kingdom so he was arrested.

Nattee said the man admitted during an interrogation that he was hired by another Malaysian man to use fake credit cards in Bangkok and take the goods back to Kula Lumpur to sell. He was promised 10 per cent of the proceeds from the sale.

Chia Bing was handed over to the Pathumwan police station and will face charge of using fake electronic cards.

any news on the 'Red Bull' Heir's case?

Do officers of the BIB, Immigration, Customs etc come in on their day off to fill up these official photos ?

1 arrested person and 10 Immigration officers !

Idiot did not have the sense to NOT buy an airline with a hot credit card. It was just a matter of time.

I haed of som many arrests in the past few months but never heard once in the news that those scums have actually been jailed.

Slow news day . . .

any news on the 'Red Bull' Heir's case?

Yes the news is that he is sitting in Singapore and figures that if he stays there long enough everything will blow over.

Why doesn't the General just have the government ask for his arrest and extradition to Thailand . This is another example of what is

wrong in Thailand. If you have real big money you just skirt the law. No need to worry Daddy can buy your freedom .

I think this is one case that the government should go after. This is prime example of corruption at its finest

if they give these credit card criminals.the same sentence has they give for drugs.that will stop them.why do we never hear what jail time they get. if any.

Time Thailand got EMV chips.

Give them a strong hard punishment

The little shti, 50 years hard labour with no remission.
