Tourist Police Division chief Pol Maj-General Adis Ngamjitsuksri yesterday presented 25-year-old student Thanayuth Samatchai, Supichyada Hanrob, 25, and Porntip Roopchaiyaphum, 21, as suspects at a press conference along with 10 items of evidence including five mobile phones, a computer notebook and a PC.

Siam Commercial Bank had alerted the Economic and Cyber Crime Division Centre for Transnational Crime and Electronic Crime Suppression that some thieves had stolen the personal data of a British customer then allegedly transferred Bt1.72 million of his money into a third person's account and withdrawn the cash via ATM.

The investigation concluded that Porntip had given her British ex-boyfriend's ATM and credit-card information to Supichyada, Adis said.

Supichyada reportedly used her close connections with a bank employee to change the password without having the required documents and transferred the money into the account of a person named Kannika Kusima in Surin. Thanayuth and the others used an ATM card to withdraw the cash.

Porntip reportedly received some money, which she used to get back land that had been pawned with a bank.

The investigation also found that Bt100,000 had been transferred from the account to a suspected accomplice, a Cambodian man named Sitha Mo, Adis said.
