A Chinese woman has been arrested on suspicion of human trafficking in Chon Buri province and is now facing extradition.
The police Cyber Crime Investigation Bureau (CCIB) apprehended Lyu Ruoxi at her home in Bang Lamung district on Saturday morning.
The suspect was wanted under an arrest warrant issued by the Criminal Court on Dec 17 on charges of facilitating illegal border crossings by other people.
