PHUKET: A Finnish tourist in Phuket swindled his parents out of 7,000 euros
by pretending he had been arrested and needed that amount to be released,
police have said.

Pol Lt Col Ekachai Siri, a superintendent of tourist police on the southern
island, said police received a complaint on Friday that the parents of a
Finnish man, 27, had lost contact with their son after being informed that
police were extorting money from him.

On Saturday police managed to find the Finnish man and another compatriot
aged 34.

The superintendent said that when brought to the Patong police station, the
two admitted to interrogators that one of them had lied to his parents, saying
he had been arrested by local police, who were demanding 7,000 euros to
release him.
