A Russian man, wanted on an Interpol red warrant, is now in custody after police caught up with him in Pattaya yesterday.

The arrest was made after the Chon Buri police head office received a request from the Russian embassy to locate Vitalil Trofimov, who is wanted in Russia on drug trafficking charges.

Police checked records and found Trofimov was living in Pattaya on a business visa. He was detained at the Immigration Bureau pending extradition.
