The Metropolitan Police Bureau has warned the public to be on high alert for a man with a 15-year criminal record of using a dating application to meet women and then rape and rob them.
According to the warning, the man, who was identified as Wattana Srikhaney, alias Tum Chonburi, has recently used the Omi app to find his female victims.
Posing as a “nice guy”, he offers to pick the woman up and take her on a date to a certain place. He then takes her to a different location and rapes her.
In one case, a woman was raped at the edge of a rice field and abandoned there completely naked.
