The leader of the notorious Busarakam Gang, renowned for deceiving men into falling in love with members of her gang and then stealing their cars, was apprehended today. The police confirmed that they successfully captured the mastermind, a 33-year-old woman from Ratchaburi province. Based on the warrant 384/2023 issued by the Pattaya court on July 24, she had at least 15 victims.

Duenpen Jitwimonprasert, also known as Ham, would lure her male victims using attractive women from her Busarakam Gang. The seduction queen would pretend to fall in love with the unsuspecting men, tricking them into leasing cars under their name. The scammers would claim they were blacklisted and incapable of leasing a car under their name. However, they promised their victims that they would take responsibility for the down payment and instalments.

Once Ham’s victims had made the down payment, on the day of signing the lease agreement, she would bring three members of her gang to create a scene and trick the victims further. Once the down payment was settled, all four of them, including the car, would disappear. So far this year, several victims in Sri Racha district, Chon Buri have been found, mostly contacted through dating apps.

A foreign man met a tragic end at a marijuana shop in Pattaya, allegedly after consuming what the shop owner claimed was a cappuccino. The unfortunate incident occurred on Sunday, July 30, at a well-known ganja café situated on the bustling Walking Street.

The identity of the deceased, Hamad Alblaiher, a 52-year-old man of unknown nationality, was found lying unconscious inside the establishment when the Sawang Boriboon Thammasathan Rescue Centre in Pattaya responded to the distress call at 3.46am.

Eyewitnesses stated that before his collapse, Alblaiher exhibited signs of shock, leaving fellow customers shocked and concerned. Despite prompt resuscitation attempts, the man was pronounced dead at a nearby hospital. The initial cause of his death is yet to be confirmed by the forensic team, but it is suspected to be a sudden cardiac arrest, reported Pattaya News.

The café owner, Suha Demirez, revealed that Alblaiher’s order before his unfortunate death consisted only of a cappuccino and water, with no cannabis involvement. This contradicts the reports from other news outlets, which had previously suggested that the man had consumed marijuana-infused tea.
