Thai police said they have taken criminal action against a gang accused of abducting five Chinese nationals for ransom in Sa Kaeo, with the four police officers implicated also facing suspension.
The Chinese group was rescued on Sunday in Wang Somboon district of the eastern border province. They were found detained at an isolated house in a forested area in tambon Wang Mai by four policemen and a civilian, who have not been identified, according to the Sa Kaeo Immigration Bureau.
