A Cambodian and two Thais have been arrested for allegedly falsifying alien registration documents.
The three were caught with official papers issued for registered Burmese workers. Police say they planned to falsify them for issue to a group of 10 Cambodians.
They are members of an alleged gang thought to be falsifying alien registration documents, and were caught along with 10 illegal Cambodian migrants in raids in Nonthaburi and Pathum Thani.
The alleged gang members were identified as Warin, alias Rung, Thongsiri, 31, taxi driver Somboon Poonsuk, 42, and Cambodian national Pad Krongpad,26.
Police arrested the gang and the workers at an alien registration service centre in Nonthaburi and at Pathum Thani's Lat Lum Kaeo district office. They seized official registration papers issued to registered Burmese workers which police suspect were about to be falsified by the gang for their Cambodian customers.
Immigration Police Bureau chief Wiboon Bangthamai said the arrest of the gang followed complaints that many registration documents issued for alien workers had been falsified and used by illegal workers.
Mr Pad and some Cambodian illegal workers were arrested at the alien registration service centre in Nonthaburi shortly after they were handed registration documents issued for Burmese immigrants.
The documents would be forged for use by the Cambodian workers.
The Cambodian illegal workers confessed they had been charged from 16,500 to 20,000 baht each by the gang in exchange for registration documents using the Burmese immigrant quota, Pol Lt Gen Wiboon said.
Another team of immigration police arrested Mr Warin and Mr Somboon at Lat Lum Kaeo district office while they were taking a group of illegal Cambodian workers to the office for the same purpose.
Mr Pad allegedly confessed he had been hired by a fellow Cambodian identified only as Mr Heng for 1,000 baht a trip to take illegal Cambodian workers to the registration service centre in Nonthaburi. He denied any knowledge of the forgery scam. Mr Somboon also denied any involvement.
Deputy immigration police chief ML Pansak Kasemsant said inquiries are continuing. He believes officials at the Interior Ministry's Provincial Administration Department are involved in the scam.
