Six Chinese, in wheelchairs, have been arrested for begging in Bangkok.
The Tourist Police Bureau reported yesterday that the arrests came after Tourist Police and the Immigration Officers found the Chinese disabled begging gang who were staying at a hotel on Soi Intharama.
They headed out for begging at tourism spots around Bangkok in the mornings, in their wheelchairs. Then they returned to their rooms in the evenings. All six were genuinely disabled people.
The suspects were caught on footpaths near Ari and On Nut BTS sky-train stations on February 1.
All have been charged with begging.
