Chinese national nabbed as immigration police track Thai ID card scam
A Chinese national was nabbed in Bangkok on Thursday for using an illegally obtained Thai national ID card.
The suspect, identified as Ruifeng Mel, was also slapped with charges of overstaying his visa by 613 days.
Ruifeng was tracked down after an official filed a complaint about a network in Saraburi obtaining illegal national IDs for migrants. He will be handed over to authorities in Saraburi’s Wang Muang district for further action.
