Chachoengsao: Scores of Cambodian migrants, including children, were detained along with five suspected smugglers in Muang district yesterday.<\/p>\n

They were discovered during a joint operation by police and soldiers from the Internal Security Operations Command. Those arrested were mostly migrants seeking to return to work in the kingdom amid the Covid-19 outbreak.<\/p>\n

Pol Gen Natthorn Prosunthorn, director of the transnational crime suppression centre at the Royal Thai Police, yesterday told a press briefing five local traffickers were helping the 88 migrants cross illegally into the kingdom.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

The pandemic appears to be subsiding in the kingdom. The last time authorities recorded a locally infected case was more than 40 days ago. The government has been gradually easing lockdown measures to reboot the economy.<\/p>\n

The migrants and their smugglers were intercepted as an increasing number of foreign nationals enter the country through natural borders looking for work amid the easing of Covid-19 restrictions.<\/p>\n

The easing of the lockdown has pushed up demand for domestic employees and with it attempts to smuggle in people illegally.<\/p>\n

The five suspected traffickers were identified as Chawalit, Viroj, Sudon, Ong-ard and Nattapon.<\/p>\n

The police confiscated five cars and held the Cambodians, some of whom brought their children along with them to cross the border.<\/p>\n

Pol Gen Natthorn said the five are part of a gang of smugglers and Cambodian agents promised migrant workers safe passage back to Thailand.<\/p>\n

He said the Cambodians paid the gang 4,000 baht each to return to the country.<\/p>\n

The commissioner said the migrants set out on foot along the border from Cambodia’s Poipet province for about 50 kilometres before they crossed into Sa Kaeo province’s Ta Phraya district.<\/p>\n

The migrants and the suspects were nabbed in tambon Khlong Nakhon Nueang Khet in Chachoengsao’s Muang district.<\/p>\n

The authorities said the Cambodians were supposed to be picked up by a Thai agent before they being placed in a safehouse in Chachoengsao. The migrants were then to be transported to various destinations across the kingdom.<\/p>\n
