CityNews – On 22nd November Region 5 Police announced the arrest of Evariste Segnou (36), a Cameroonian man who has had a warrant out for his arrest from 2006.

Chiang Mai Police reported that a victim of a scam came forward and relayed their experience with a group of criminals. The criminals are all believed to be foreigners and had persuaded the victim to buy a chemical to make fake US dollar notes, also known as “black money”.

The group showed the buyer a number of fake notes in a safe, so the buyer believed that the scam would work and transferred money to the criminals. Of course, he never received the chemical as promised.

When the police investigated, they discovered that one of the criminals was Segnou, and issued a warrant for his arrest back in 2006. They had little luck locating him until Friday 22nd November, when they managed to apprehend him at Suvarnabhumi Airport in Bangkok.

He has been sent to Chiang Mai to face his charges, as the old warrant for arrest was issued in the city.
