Three women and two men from Vietnam were arrested in Chiang
Mai for shoplifting brand-name clothes worth
hundreds of thousands of baht by stuffing them into foil-lined bags to fool the
barcode detectors, police announced yesterday.
The five Vietnames aged 24 and 39 were apprehended along with 64 stolen items and
two foil-lined bags. The suspects reportedly confessed to the crime spree,
which occurred at two malls, provincial police commander Pol Maj-General Montri
Sambunnanont said.
Meanwhile, the Economic Crime Suppression Division announced that Malaysian Wong Chen Jear, 29, was arrested along with 11 fake credit cards and five luxury brand bags worth Bt1.1 million at Don Muang Airport on Sunday. He claimed that his creditor in Malaysia made him use the cards in Thailand to buy the items in exchange for a Bt100,000 debt.
