Rayong: "Big Oud" busts gang posing as immigration officers

 

Picture: Naew Na

 

Thailand's immigration chief Sompong "Big Oud" Chingduang gave details of the bust of several men posing as immigration officers in Rayong. 

 

The announcement came after news reports of crimes committed by a bogus gang, reported Naew Na. 

 

A gang of six men had been reported in the press as having been checking up on migrants in the province. They had fleeced shopkeepers of money.

 

Sompong said that when he heard about the activity in the media he sent in his men to investigate.

 

CCTV showed a group of six men dressed as immigration officers at a gas station in Khao Lam Road, Sri Racha, Chonburi, on the morning of September 15th.

They got in three vehicles and drove to the Pluak Daeng area of Rayong and returned to the gas station in the afternoon. 

 

This led to the arrest of three men - Wissanu, 45, Ekkachai, 36 and Ratchanon, 32 - and evidence in the form of a Toyota vehicle and immigration clothing. 

 

They were charged with embezzlement and impersonating police. 

 

Three more suspects are being sought and arrest warrants have been issued.

You can't make this stuff up.

Add to this, people impersonating politicians (also involved in embezzlement), and you see why Thailand is a laughing stock to other countries.

I thought that they were all a bunch of posers. The photo certainly suggests that.

I'm confused, who are the impersonators, the ones standing or sitting ?

[Orton Rd 15,967]

Were they doing 'legal' extensions with no money in the bank from another province for 15K as well

Extortion is only allowed by genuine immigration officers, now go and get the fake police

Hard to tell with nobody pointing in the photos. 

 

Who'da figured that the pointing did serve a purpose?

 

[nobodysfriend 4,046]

Why do they need to wear masks on the photo ?

I would like to be sure that ' my ' immigration officers are genuine , the next time I need to go there ...
