The arrest of four Thais embroiled in the abduction of two cosmetics businessmen who were held for a 5-million-baht ransom this month is another case of an "old-school" crime which has affected both Thais and foreigners in Thailand.
The first three suspects were apprehended by Crime Suppression Division (CSD) police at a housing development in Pathum Thani's Klong Luang district on March 18, while another was detained at a house in Lat Pla Khao area in Lat Phrao district of Bangkok.
They are Kampan Thonkoh, 51; Krissada Prawiset, 47; Somchai Meesat, 37; and Jitratda Hemsida, 43, an Udon Thani resident who is Mr Kampan's wife.
