Eight Thai policemen held for kidnapping, extortion

BANGKOK -- Eight Thai police officers and four men were arrested on Friday for allegedly kidnapping a wealthy businesswoman and her two sons and trying to extort US260,000, a police official said. Authorities were also seeking to arrest five other policemen in connection with the crime, the official said.

“I cannot imagine how the public must feel about this case,” deputy commander Police Major General Watjanon Tirawat said. “We have set up a committee to investigate this case. We will continue to protect innocent people from wrongdoers,” he said.
