TAK, Jan 2 (TNA) – Four Chinese nationals have been
arrested on charges of using forged travel documents at a Thai border town of
Mae Sot.
The four men appeared nervous when security officers
conducted a routine search on their van at a checkpoint near the Myanmar
border, police said.
After a thorough check, police found that their passports
were forged with false identities.
The four Chinese passengers told police through a translator
that they purchased fake passports in Cambodia before using them to enter
Thailand via Aranyaprathet border crossing.
They hired a Thai driver to take them to the border and
probably intended to continue to Kokko, a Chinese megaproject town in Myanmar.
