March 23, 2018
- Tourist police arrested 121 foreigners on Thursday in a day-long raid which included immigration and local police forces searching 108 areas nationwide, deputy police chief Pol Maj-General Surachet Hakpal said early on Friday.
Surachet held a press conference at 1.30am on Friday to announce the outcome of the fifth “X-Ray Outlaw Foreigner” mass raid, which he said, aimed to find foreign criminals who disguised themselves as tourists.
At the end of the operation, 17 were arrested for overstaying their visa –nine Indians, two Cambodians, two Pakistanis, one Chinese, one Myanmarian, one Kenyan, and one Egyptian. Surachet said five of had been living in Thailand for over two years.
He said 91 of the arrested had entered the Kingdom without a visa –62 Myanmarians, 14 Laotians, four Cambodians, three Vietnamese, three Indians, three Pakistanis, one Belgian and one Australian.
Thirteen other foreigners were arrested on other charges – five Vietnamese, three Myanmarians, two Indians, two Britons and one French national. Surachet said police searched 49 educational institutes and 59 residences in the latest operation.
So far, police have searched 2,346 areas and arrested 490 foreigners in five operations under the codename of X-Ray Outlaw Foreigner, he added. The operation had previously worn the codename “Black Eagles Operation” and focused on people from African nations. NTN EP

Re: 121 foreigners arrested in "foreign criminal crackdown"
This was in Thailand, right?
Just asking because it seems CEO is turning into TEO.
Shouldn't this be in the Thailand is better than Cambodia in every sense imaginable section?
Yet is shows under Cambodia in General. Confusing.

Read the directory tab at the top of the thread

So, you may miss hits when people search, due to confusing strings, that was my point.

Oh. It sounded like your point was that it was in the wrong section, not that there was an error with our sections.that genius wrote:Read the directory tab at the top of the thread

Truth be told, you make a valid point, but there is no "perfect" setup, and while I think it is a big as we can get it, you do highlight one downside of the setup.

Re: 121 foreigners arrested in "foreign criminal crackdown"
LOL. I think most people manage to work it out. CEO has been set up like this for four years now. Since the very beginning. Thailand news and discussion forum is about Thailand, the Rest of the World forum is about the rest of the world etcthat genius wrote: ↑Sat Mar 24, 2018 2:23 pm Read the directory tab at the top of the thread

BUT, it's all good. In order to avoid confusion, you can click on Cambodia Expats Online or CEO Expats Homepage at the top of the page and avoid using the Cambodia in General link. Then you know where you are - more or less.
@ GM. Why not get rid of Cambodia in General at the top of the page ? Obviously it's confusing certain posters.
Btw do you have the name of the one and only Australian who was arrested for criminal doings in the LOS ? Is he in a gang by himself ? Arresting only one Australian in a criminal crackdown in Thailand seems a bit limited, when everyone knows/says that that's where all the Aussie gang fugitives go to hang out when Australia gets too hot.
