Thai police raid mansion and arrest five Aussie scam suspects

Dramatic footage shows the moment Thai police raid a mansion in Bangkok, arresting 13 people including five Australians, allegedly running a scam centre. The scammers allegedly cold‑called residents in Australia to fleece victims out of millions of dollars. The centre has now been shut down following an investigation by the Australian Federal Police (AFP), under the Joint Policing Cybercrime Coordination Centre’s (JPC3) Operation Firestorm. The operation’s success followed a tip‑off that Australians had been recruited into the scam. The AFP passed the intelligence to the Royal Thai Police (RTP) which led to the raid and arrests on Monday.
