Authorities said the suspect was detained during a targeted operation by Immigration Bureau Division 3 investigators at a condominium in central Pattaya, Chonburi province. Get today's headlines by email Pol Col Parinya Klinkesorn, deputy commander and spokesperson for Immigration Bureau Division 3, said the operation was conducted under the direction of Maj Gen Songprod Sirisukha, commander of Immigration Bureau Division 3, together with senior officers Pol Col Decho Sosuwannakul, Pol Col Chinawut Tangwonglert and Pol Col Suriya Puangsombat. Investigators from the bureau’s intelligence unit, led by Pol Lt Col Ithithorn Prasertsak, launched coordinated operations in multiple locations on the same day to track international fugitives wanted by foreign authorities. Police identified the suspect only as Mr. Martin, a 42-year-old French citizen wanted by French authorities on serious narcotics charges. According to investigators, the allegations included smuggling, possession, offering drugs for sale and distributing narcotics without authorisation. Authorities said the suspect was accused of importing drugs from Belgium and exporting them to the United Kingdom, Austria, Germany and Italy. He also faced conspiracy charges linked to offences carrying prison terms of at least 10 years under French law. Investigators received intelligence that the suspect had been hiding inside a condominium in Pattaya after entering Thailand through Suvarnabhumi Airport under a 60-day visa exemption. Officers moved into the area immediately and detained him before he could leave the property. Police said checks on the suspect’s passport and biometric records confirmed a complete match with warrant information issued by French authorities. Immigration Bureau Division 3 later revoked the suspect’s permission to remain in Thailand under the Immigration Act BE 2522. Authorities said the revocation was approved because the suspect fell under Section 12(7) of the law, covering foreign nationals wanted under international arrest warrants and considered a threat to society. Officials informed the suspect of his legal rights and appeal procedures through a French interpreter before transferring him to Division 3 of the Immigration Bureau Investigation Division for deportation proceedings and coordination with French authorities. Pol Col Parinya said the operation demonstrated the effectiveness and speed of Immigration Bureau Division 3 in enforcing laws against transnational crime. He added that Thailand would not serve as a refuge or safe haven for international fugitives attempting to evade arrest. Join the discussion? Already a member?

Get today's headlines by email The explosion happened at about 2pm on May 24 at Wat Ban Don Klang in Khor Nuea subdistrict, Mueang district, Yasothon. Rescue volunteers from Hook 31 Yasothon and emergency responders from the province’s 1669 emergency service were dispatched to the scene after reports that a bung fai, or homemade festival rocket, had exploded inside the temple grounds. Three people suffered injuries, including burns across their bodies, and were given first aid at the scene before being transferred to Yasothon Hospital for further treatment. Authorities also confirmed that several cars and motorcycles were damaged in the blast. Initial investigations found that the rocket exploded while workers were cleaning it. Rescue workers secured the area and assisted the injured as officials began examining the cause of the incident. The incident comes as many communities across northeastern Thailand are preparing rockets for the annual Bun Bang Fai festival, a traditional event held before the rice planting season. Villagers commonly build and launch large homemade rockets as part of local celebrations and merit-making activities. Pictures courtesy of Khaosod Officials warned that the blast should serve as a reminder for organisers and participants to exercise extra caution during the preparation of fireworks and rockets. Particular concern was raised over the cleaning, loading and transport stages, which can become dangerous if safety procedures are not strictly followed. Khaosod reported that authorities have not yet released further details about the condition of the injured or whether additional inspections will be carried out at festival sites in the province.

Officers arrested four Vietnamese nationals and seized electronic devices along with assets, during searches in the Rama 9 and Ratchathewi areas. Get today's headlines by email The operation was ordered by Pol Lt Gen Kittisak Durongkavibul, commander of Provincial Police Region 6, and Pol Maj Gen Dechapol Premsiri, chief of the Region 6 Investigation Division. Teams led by senior investigators expanded an ongoing probe into a transnational scammer network connected to warrants issued by the Phitsanulok Provincial Court. The first raid targeted a housing estate in the Rama 9-Lat Phrao area of Wang Thonglang district. The property was reportedly linked to a suspect still on the run. Officers seized six items believed to be connected to the operation, including high-end cameras and lenses, a gold ring weighing 15.18 grams, and two safes. A second raid was carried out at a condominium in the Ratchathewi area, described by police as a location used to hide funds on behalf of the suspects. Officers found four Vietnamese nationals, two men and two women, at the scene. Authorities also seized eight mobile phones and four laptop computers. Investigators said examination of the electronic devices uncovered evidence that the group was operating as an illegal cross-border currency and cryptocurrency exchange network. Police alleged the operation was directed from Vietnam through the Telegram messaging application and involved the use of digital wallets via the Momo application to launder money and conceal financial transactions. The four suspects were initially charged with working in Thailand without permits. They were transferred to investigators at Phaya Thai Police Station for legal proceedings. Authorities are also coordinating with investigators at Muang Phitsanulok Police Station to expand the investigation and trace the wider scammer network. The Daily News reported that the latest raids form part of a broader crackdown by Region 6 police on transnational scam and money laundering operations. Investigators are expected to continue examining the seized devices and financial evidence to identify additional suspects and financial routes linked to the network.
