Three suspects have been arrested in Rayong for allegedly posing as police and immigration officers to solicit money from Chinese nationals, according to local authorities. The arrests came after a manhunt that involved cooperation between Nong Krab Police Station and the Rayong Immigration Office. Police seized a black four-door Toyota Revo pickup, destroyed licence plates, documents linked to the scam, and other evidence.
The suspects face charges of fraud by impersonation, forgery, and inputting false data. Police Colonel Prinya Klinkesorn urged the public to verify the identity of anyone claiming to be an official officer by asking for rank, full name, position, and an identification card. He also cautioned that scammers may use official details to appear legitimate.
The public is advised to contact the relevant agency or use the POLICE CARE app if uncertain about an officer's identity. Anyone encountering suspicious behaviour is urged to call 191 or the Royal Thai Police hotline on 1599.
