A Chinese woman who evaded arrest in China by having a facelift was arrested in Bangkok on Monday.

Police arrested Jing Qu, 30, at an apartment after receiving a tip-off.

She was accused of deceiving six compatriots into paying her for flight attendant positions with well-known airlines, earning her at least 7.5 million baht.

It is claimed she used the money for facelift surgery in Thailand in 2022 to evade warrants issued against her back in China.

After finding out where she was staying, a policeman posed as a food delivery rider to arrest her.

Ms Jing entered the country on a TR-15 visa, which gave her a 15-day stay, meaning that she had overstayed for at least 650 days.

She claimed to have been laid off from her flight attendant job and denied the accusations against her.

Ms Jing will be extradited back to China.
