At 4:00 PM on October 30, 2026, Pol. Col. Naradech Thiprak, Superintendent of Division 1, ordered a team led by Pol. Lt. Col. Kittithane Thannanthawiwat, Deputy Superintendent of Division 1, Pol. Lt. Col. Phanphakorn Jitprayut, Chief of Investigation Division 1, and other officers from Don Mueang Police Station to search a daily rental room in Si Kan Subdistrict, Don Mueang District, Bangkok. The raid followed suspicions the room was a base for a scam gang. In Room 6, officers found two Chinese men: Ju Hua, 29, and Mo Longwu, 35. A search of the ceiling uncovered two SIM boxes, one Wi-Fi router, one Wi-Fi extender, one CCTV camera, three power strips, and two timer plugs. Both suspects denied involvement, stating they had traveled to work at a factory in Prachinburi but lost their passports, reported it at Nong Prue Police Station in Chonburi, then came to Bangkok to reissue them. They said they rented Room 5 on October 12 and moved to Room 6 on October 21, claiming no knowledge of the equipment. The arrests stemmed from online fraud reports filed at Mueang Nonthaburi and Bang Kruay police stations, where victims were tricked by callers posing as telecom officials and later as police, leading to losses totaling 94,022.63 baht. The two men were handed to Don Mueang Police Station investigators for further legal action.
