Police said they were tipped off by fraud-prevention executives from Siam Commercial Bank who reported suspicious card use at several city ATMs. The suspects were arrested after surveillance.

Police accused Bosee of working as a lookout for the Polish pair. All three had entered the kingdom on Nov. 10 and had stayed in numerous Pattaya hotels.
