Thai police finally caught up with a slippery Singaporean hacker in Bangkok yesterday and placed him, and his girlfriend, under arrest.
Ong Jian Zhen allegedly scammed hundreds of social media accounts in Singapore and fled to the safe haven of Thailand last year to escape the wrath of his own country’s courts.
Zhen was already on the Thai wanted list for using a fake passport but after a tip off police swooped on a condominium in Huai Kwang district, Bangkok, yesterday and arrested the alleged 32 year old scammer.
Police also arrested his girlfriend, Ananyalak Chuenjai. The 28 year old Thai woman was arrested after officers found a packet of crystal methamphetamine, two packets of ketamine and a pack of an illicit drug called Erimin 5 in the condo. Officers also seized an electronic scale and three bank accounts.
The Singaporean was arrested by immigration…
