Thai police arrest 13 in multimillion-dollar scam targeting Aussies
Thai police say over a dozen foreigners, mostly Australians and British, have been arrested for allegedly running an online investment fraud that had duped people out of at least $1.9 million. Police on Monday raided a rental house in the province of Samut Prakan, neighbouring Bangkok, and arrested 13 people, said Jirabhob Bhuridej, chief of the police's Central Investigation Bureau, at a press conference in the Thai capital. Jirabhob said the Australian Federal Police (AFP) informed Thai authorities last year of a scam group led by an Australian and a British citizen, and a joint investigation was launched. The alleged scammers operated out of Thailand to swindle money from victims in Australia and potentially other English-speaking countries through online advertisements and phone calls to invest in long-term bonds with a promise of high returns, Jirabhob said. Footage showed the men after being arrested in the rental house that was converted into an office. Papers of alleged scam scripts and workflow were taped to their partitioned desks. There were also whiteboards the police said were used for tracking their progress, and clocks on a wall showing time zones across Australia. Thai police said they staked out the house for several months and saw the men coming and going at times that coincided with working hours in Australia. They said they confiscated a number of phones, computers and other electronic devices allegedly used for the scam. Senior AFP officer Kristie-Lee Cressy said at the Bangkok press conference that at least 14,000 Australians had fallen victim to this scam. 'The group amassed at least $1.9 million in [Australian dollars] from Australian victims in just the short time it had been operating. Money that we say was stolen from hard-working Australians and not invested as promised,' she said. 'Shutting down this scam centre is a significant win for the communities of Thailand and Australia.' Australian authorities believe the two leaders of the group had been running scams for many years and operating in several countries, including Indonesia, where they had escaped arrest before being found in Thailand, Jirabhob said. The group of men arrested in Thailand on Monday includes six British, five Australians, one Canadian and one South African, officials said. They said the suspects denied all wrongdoing, saying that they believed they were working legally for a legitimate investment company. Immigration officials said they entered Thailand with different kinds of visas, including for retirement and education. Jirabhob said they were initially charged with racketeering and working in Thailand without a permit. He said further investigation could lead to more serious charges, including fraud and involvement in a transnational organised crime. Australian police officer Cressy said Australia suffered an estimated damage of $4.45 billion from online scams in the past four years. A UN report in April said transnational organised crime groups in east and southeast Asia are spreading their lucrative scam operations across the globe in response to increased crackdowns by authorities.

Thief steals hundreds of dollars worth of toys by shoving them down her pants
Don't miss out on the headlines from Lifestyle. Followed categories will be added to My News. CCTV footage showed the shocking moment a brazen thief steals around $800 worth of Jellycats by stuffing them down her pants. The huge haul of Jellycat soft toys was taken from St Peter's Garden Centre, south west of Birmingham, England, after a woman stuffed a 'significant amount' of the stock into her trousers and bags. Footage filmed on June 7, 2025, showed a woman helping herself to items as she walked through the store, casually adjusting her pants as she went. Jellycats are uniquely shaped soft toys that are hugely popular right now, thanks to their quirky designs and super-soft material. Over the past year, the brand has experienced significant growth in popularity. William Blake, managing director of St Peter's Garden Centre, said: 'We were deeply disappointed by the incident, where a significant amount of stock – over $800 worth of Jellycat toys – was stolen from our store. 'As an independent, family-run business, every loss impacts not just our shelves but the hardworking team behind the scenes. 'Our staff work tirelessly to create a warm and welcoming environment for all visitors, and it's disheartening when that is taken advantage of. 'We're co-operating fully with local authorities and we'd like to thank our customers for the response to the video and all their continued support.' Jellycat toys are extremely popular right now. Picture: Supplied The woman stole $800 worth of Jellycat toys. Picture: CCTV West Mercia Police said: 'We received a report of theft from St Peter's Garden Centre on June 11. 'Inquiries are ongoing.' In Australia, stores such as David Jones stock Jellycats, with the department store seeing a massive uptick in sales in previous years. 'We've seen strong demand for the brand and an increase in sales in not only their iconic bunny which they are best known for but also more niche/unique styles,' a David Jones spokesperson told last month. 'There has also been a noticeable shift in the consumer who is buying this product, traditionally bought for children we have seen demand from Gen Z thanks to social media driving the trend among this group.' It comes as Aussies have gone wild for the Labubu craze, a furry plushie featuring a bizarre grin and sharp teeth. Designed by Hong Kong-born artist Kasing Lung, the product is sold by Chinese toy company Pop Mart following a collaboration with Lung on his story series book The Monsters, released in 2015. While the Labubu hit the market in Asia in 2019, the toy only took off after Blackpink's Lisa, a popular K-pop singer, was spotted with a $32 keychain-version of the doll attached to her handbag in April 2024. And in just 12 months, the whole world has become hooked, including Aussies.

Update in Matthew Perry death as doctor who supplied Friends star Ketamine to plead guilty
Don't miss out on the headlines from Entertainment. Followed categories will be added to My News. One of the two doctors that was charged in connection with Matthew Perry's death has agreed to plead guilty, it's been revealed. Perry, who was best known for playing Chandler Bing on Friends, was found dead in his hot tub in Los Angeles in October 2023. He was just 54 at the time of his death, and had struggled with addiction throughout his adult life. An autopsy report revealed he died from the acute effects of ketamine. After months of silence in the case, the Department of Justice said on Monday that Dr Salvador Plasencia will plead guilty to four counts of distributing ketamine, reported New York Post. As a result of his plea, Plasencia could face up to 40 years behind bars if prosecutors hand down the maximum sentence. He originally pleaded not guilty in August 2024. Matthew Perry was found dead in his hot tub in October 2023. Picture: Getty/Supplied Plasencia, who operated an urgent care clinic in Malibu, had originally been set to go on trial in August in the case. His plea agreement follows Dr Mark Chavez, the other doctor charged in the case, who pleaded guilty to distributing ketamine in October 2024. Perry had been receiving off-label doses of ketamine through his regular doctor to help treat depression but the former prime time star began looking for additional doses from Plasencia, who had asked Chavez to help him find the drug. According to text messages shared with prosecutors from Chavez, Plasencia called Perry a 'moron' and wondered how much he'd be willing to pay for the drugs. Dr Salvador Plascencia faces up to 40 years in prison. Picture: Supplied Californian physician Mark Chavez made a plea agreement last year after being charged. Picture: AFP Plasencia personally injected Perry with the drug at his home and also in the carpark of Long Beach Aquarium. He also taught Perry's assistant to administer the drug. Perry paid Plasencia US$4,500 (A$5845) for individual doses of the drug, prompting Plasencia to ask Chavez to keep the supply coming so the pair of doctors could be Perry's 'go-to.' During one instance when Plasencia administered ketamine to Perry at the actor's home he was paid $12,000 for such a visit, according to the plea agreement. Plasencia is accused of supplying the bulk of Perry's ketamine in his final weeks. However, it's not believed he supplied the dose that killed the actor. Another defendant, Jasmine Sangha, known as 'the ketamine queen' who prosecutors claim was a major ketamine dealer, is alleged to have been the once responsible for supplying the deadly dose. She has pleaded not guilty, making her the only one of five individuals charged in Perry's death who has not entered a plea agreement.
