The gang is accused of imitating police or bank staff to convince people to transfer money via ATM machines. As many as 1,000 people were conned, and nearly Bt100 million is involved.

All were ordered detained until October 1. Two aged under 17 will be sent to a juvenile remand centre.

Police will interview 150 witnesses. The court denied six applications for bail.

The suspects, arrested and repatriated to Thailand, allegedly used voice-over Internet protocol telephony from China to notify people in Thailand that they had fallen victim to credit-card fraud and were in debt.

They had victims transfer money using ATMs to accounts controlled by the gang.
