The arrest took place on December 14 at 1.40am, following orders from Police Lieutenant General Siam Boonsom, the Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police Bureau, along with Police Major General Chaikrit Pho-a, the Commander of Division 6.
Police Colonel Thammasak Sanabun, Superintendent of Bang Rak Police Station, along with Police Captain Angkoon Tuathawanit from the same station, led the operation.
The team arrested a girl, referred to as A (a pseudonym), and rescued two victims, B (a pseudonym), aged 15, and C (a pseudonym), aged 16, on December 13 at 8pm. The incident occurred at a restaurant on the second floor in the Suriyawong subdistrict, Bang Rak district, Bangkok.
