            BANGKOK (July 12) XINHUA - Thai immigration police have
busted a prostitution ring that involved a
            couple and some police officers in the northern province of
Tak. 

            A police source said policemen posing as prospective
customers arrested Laihua Sae Tang, 54 and his
            wife, Malee, for procuring women from Myanmar for
prostitution in Bangkok. 

            The couple were arrested after they had delivered a
17-year-old Myanmar woman to the police officers
            at a meeting place at a railway station's parking lot
Saturday. 

            Police searched the couple's house and rescued three other
Myanmar women aged between 17 and
            19. 

            The women said they had been bought from Myanmar to northern
Thailand by some police officers
            who had been paid 6,500 baht (163 U.S. dollars) each to
deliver them to the couple. 

            The couple had already sold some women into prostitution and
others as cheap labor to sweat-shop
            operators. 

            The source did not disclose the names of the police officers
involved in the ring.
