Preah Vihear, Cambodia news: Five suspects were arrested by Preah Vihear provincial police, charged with the kidnapping and extortion of two Thai women on the morning of December 25, 2018, in Sreng Cheung Village, Preah Vihear Province.
Gen. Gen Yin Chamnan, provincial police chief, confirmed that on December 23, 2018, the two Thai victims took a flight from Bangkok to Siem Reap airport. After the woman got off the plane, a vehicle was waiting, and the women were whisked away as they left the airport.

Later, the five suspects forced the two Thai women to call their families in Thailand to ask them to transfer money. But, after the women contacted their families and sent them photos, the victim's family got in touch with the Thai embassy in Cambodia, who informed the Cambodian National Police Commissioner.

Major General Yan Chamnan added that, after receiving instructions from the National Police, about 40 Preah Vihear police in collaboration with the police force of the Internal Security Department went and surrounded the site overnight and raided the place at dawn, arresting five suspects and freeing the two Thai hostages. The two women were found safe and sound.


Police also seized nearly 3 kilograms of crystal methamphetamine, AK bolts, 30 bullets, cars, motorbikes, and other materials.

What were the women doing in siem reap? Did they plan to meet this group or 1 of them, or was it an impulsive kidnapping from the airport? Sounds unlikely.

well done da police

Interesting, i wonder how they where lured in the first place and i wonder if the thai girls where smuggling into SR airport.

Why go to an airport, when you can drive and walk over?
