A 53 year old Bangkok man has been arrested after complaints from a Korat parent that he lured her underage daughter away to the capital.
Arrested on a warrant issued in Si Khiw was Thawee Toyaem a dealer in second hand goods.
The daughter was 15 at the time when Thawee started chatting with her on Facebook. The parents disagreed with the liaison because of the age difference and because the suspect used to run a casino in Thorburi.
So they fled and set up home together. They have a child together.
Thawee was arrested after he took the girl, now 17, to work at a department store in the Rama 2 area of western Bangkok yesterday.
Previous attempts to locate the couple had failed so the mother turned to the Crime Suppression Division for help and they managed to track them down to the Bang Born area.
He has been charged with abducting a minor.
