This is the astonishing moment 11 Chinese tourists were caught with a sprawling illegal e-commerce base - wire up to 300 smartphones. The group started renting the luxury five bedroom home in an upmarket area of Samut Prakan, Thailand, for 65,000 baht (1,500gbp) a month, earlier this year. They worked round-the-clock fuelled by Red Bull and cigarettes making the equivalent of thousands of pounds a month using messaging apps to sell electronics, cosmetics and other goods to locals. But neighbours became suspicious and alerted the landlord and local cops who investigated and were shocked when they saw the massive electricity bills being used to power the operation.
