Thailand News Today | Thai policewoman arrests her own Facebook impersonator
A Thai policewoman has arrested her own Facebook impersonator in what seems
to be a gratifying moment for the officer. Police say the woman created a fake
Facebook profile impersonating the policewoman and proceeded to steal around
400,000 baht from her online acquaintances. The senior policewoman, Kanjira
Norsan, a Crime Suppression Subdivision inspector, arrested
Natthaya Khomaram in a rented room in the country’s central Saraburi province.
Upon being arrested, police found a mobile phone and 11 bank books in her
possession. According to the Chiang Rai Times, she allegedly created a Facebook
account in the name of Kanjira to ask the policewoman’s contact for help. She
allegedly told them she desperately needed money and asked them to transfer
funds to bank accounts opened by people whom she had paid. The victims were
then cut off from her after transferring the money, which totaled around 400,000
baht.
