On Tuesday afternoon, Pattaya Police announced the arrest of two Russian men, aged 27 and 35, were arrested in Pattaya on Tuesday for reportedly using fake ATM cards containing stolen bank account information at a number of shops in Pattaya.

The case began with a call placed to the Transnational Crime Suppression Unit based at Pattaya Police Station by Kasikornbank who had just processed two transactions with the cards.

The arrests of the two Ruskis followed an alert by Kasikornbank that had just processed two transactions with the cards.

“One was used to purchase items at a shopping center on Pattaya Beach and the second transaction was in the process of being made at a travel shop in Soi 13 off Pattaya Beach Road where someone was trying to purchase air tickets to Dubai.”
