Five Australians are among the 13 people arrested by Thai authorities after they raided a Bangkok-based scam centre that conned its victims out of millions of dollars.

A lengthy investigation by the Australian Federal Police (AFP) and the Royal Thai Police (RTP) under the Joint Policing Cybercrime Coordination Centre’s (JPC3) “Operation Firestorm” into the sophisticated scam led to arrests on June 16.
