Two Singaporean men were arrested in Thailand on 17 June, along with a Thai national, for their alleged roles in running a transnational vice syndicate, the Singapore Police Force (SPF) said on Wednesday (19 June).
The Singaporean suspects, aged 36 and 38, and the 50-year-old Thai man, were arrested in a joint cross-border operation between the SPF and the Royal Thai Police (RTP). The operation saw assets worth over 20 million baht (S$790,600) seized, including luxury condos, cash, mobile devices and SIM cards. The SPF also froze over S$1.26 million in suspected criminal proceeds held in a Singapore bank account belonging to the 38-year-old man.
According to Thai media outlet Khaosod English, one of the Singaporean suspects was arrested upon arrival at Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi Airport, while the other arrested at his residence in Thailand.
Investigations started in 2023 and revealed that the syndicate allegedly recruited foreign women and deployed them to Singapore as vice workers. From April 2023 to May 2025, at least 76 such women linked to the operation have been arrested, and the SPF said the resulting investigations "established useful information" against the syndicate.
Singapore's Senior Assistant Commissioner of Police (SAC) Yeo Yee Chuan said, "The SPF is committed to working closely with our regional partners, and we thank the RTP for their invaluable collaboration in dismantling this criminal network to prevent the exploitation of women, stem the scourge of transnational crimes and take affirmative actions against the laundering of criminal proceeds."

Minivan driver arrested in March Danville crash that killed truck passenger
The driver of a minivan that crashed with a truck at a busy intersection in Danville in March was arrested Friday for manslaughter, authorities said. In a joint statement on Friday, the Danville Police Department and Contra Costa Sheriff's Office said 73-year-old Andrew Chao of Danville was booked into the Martinez Detention Facility for felony vehicular manslaughter. The arrest stemmed from the crash on March 1 at the intersection of Sycamore Valley Road and Camino Ramon, just east of the Sycamore Valley onramp and offramp from Interstate Highway 680. The truck overturned in the collision and a passenger in the truck was pronounced dead at the scene. Chao, the driver of the minivan, sustained minor injuries, police said. After an investigation into the collision, detectives presented the case to the Contra Costa District Attorney's Office last month, which filed manslaughter charges against Chao. An arrest warrant was issued for Chao, and officers arrested him on Friday afternoon, police said. Chao is being held on $50,000 bail. Jail records show his initial court appearance is scheduled for Monday at Martinez Superior Court.

Bryan Kohberger Grew Increasingly Paranoid in the Hours Before His Arrest, Started Searching for Used Cars (Exclusive)
On the day before his arrest, Kohberger began to shop for used cars and searched online for 'psychopaths paranoid" and 'wiretapping' NEED TO KNOW Bryan Kohberger spent the morning before his arrest searching for used cars after reading about the ongoing efforts to locate the suspect in the University of Idaho killings The former criminology student also searched "psychopaths paranoid," "wiretapping" and "serial killers," Heather Barnhart, the digital forensics expert hired by prosecutors, tells People Kohberger downloaded information on the serial killer Wayne Nance in the hours before his arrest On Dec. 29, 2022, at 9:08 a.m. Bryan Kohberger read an article in The New York Times about the ongoing search for the driver of a white 2011-13 Hyundai Elantra. Two minutes later, he searched online for "auto detailing shop," and at 9:19 a.m. he started searching for used cars, including the Ford Fusion, Volkswagen Jetta, and Honda Civic, according to digital forensics expert Heather Barnhart, who was hired by prosecutors to examine Kohberger's cell phone and hard drive. By the same time the next day, Kohberger was in the custody of Pennsylvania State Troopers while awaiting extradition to Idaho to answer for the murder of four students at the University of Idaho. Other searches and downloads conducted by Kohberger around this time show a man growing increasingly paranoid as authorities closed in on him at his childhood home. On Dec. 29 he also searched "psychopaths paranoid," "wiretapping" and "serial killers," Barnhart tells PEOPLE. That same day, Kohberger downloaded information about the serial killer Wayne Nance, who was shot and killed at the age of 30 while attempting to murder his boss and rape his wife. One day prior, Kohberger downloaded a Fox News article which revealed 90 Hyundai Elantras had been given parking registrations by the University of Idaho between 2018 and 2022, but made no mention about out-of-state searches for that car, which Kohberger had registered in the state of also downloaded four of the daily updates on the Idaho murders from the Moscow Police Department on Dec. 28. Three days earlier, he had spent Christmas day downloading stories on more than 20 serial killers. Barnhart has previously worked on cases from the Delphi murders to Osama Bin Laden — but despite all her experience in the field, she says that even she was caught off-guard when she and her team began pulling data from Kohberger's cell and hard drive. "I feel like we were just in shock thinking where the heck is the data and what are we going to do?" Barnhart says. "Because when people call me, I always say, 'oh, yeah, we can find it. No problem. We'll come in there.' And I'm like, 'We're not, we don't see it.'" Barnhart says that Kohberger was incredibly skilled when it came to scrubbing his phone of information and similarly "really good at the anti-forensics aspect on his hard drive, too." What she and her team did find, however, would have been crucial had the case gone to trial, given the lack of a motive and murder weapon. The information Barnhart and her team managed to assemble from Dec. 28 and 29 proved to be particularly helpful, likely because Kohberger had not yet scrubbed his phone. That is because as he was searching for "wiretapping" and "psychopaths paranoid," authorities were outside surveilling his home. And they had been for days. Then, just after midnight on Dec. 30, 2022, state troopers and agents with the Federal Bureau of Investigation executed a search warrant on Kohberger's parents' home and took him into custody. A week laterm he returned to Idaho for his first court appearance, where a judge charged him with the murders of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin.
