Second arms cache found in Chachoengsao

By The Nation

 

 

Police have found 50 more M79 grenades and one RPG (rocket-propelled grenade) in Chachoengsao near the location where another arms cache was uncovered earlier this week.

 

Deputy national police chief Pol General Srivara Ransibhramanakul said the second cache of grenades was found on Friday at a paddy field opposite the swamp where the first cache was found in Chachoengsao’s Bang Nam Priao district.

 

Srivara held a press conference on Wednesday to announce the finding of the first cache that included 30 RGD-5 grenades, 2 M79 grenades, 7 pipe bombs, 3 bars of C4 explosive, two AK-47 assault rifles as well as some ammunition and bomb fuses.

 

The second cache was found after the authorities widened their search of rice fields in the area.

 

On Friday, Srivara said police had learned who owned the first cache of arms and police were seeking arrest warrants. He said he expected the warrants to be approved next week.

 

Police are checking the serial numbers of the grenades found in the second cache to try to establish links to their owners, Srivara said.

On Wednesday, Srivara linked the weapon cache to an extremist political group led by prominent red shirt Wuttipong “Ko Tee” Kottham-makhun.

 

He said serial numbers on the RGD 5 explosives found are believed to be in line with those on weapons allegedly found at the site of a 2014 red-shirt rally in Muang Nonthaburi and in a March 18 search of Wuttipong’s business offices in Pathum Thani.

Looks like those boxes have just come out of a warehouse, ammo dump my rear, someone planted them, but they will not grow there idiots. No election then and that is what this find/plant is all about.

Those kind of boxes, sir, are built to withstand the ravages of time, sir.

And who says they were there a long time, and not replanted there by the "owner" in a move to switch places regularly of contraband?

No, of course not, planted last week by the government to blame those poor angelic redshirts, who never did anything with fire, firearms, explosives etc, etc.

But the strap around one of the tin boxes looks like its fairly new, so not subject to the "ravages of time".

Thai army clearing out some out of date ammo more than likely.

Come the Tuesday media bash, the 2P's will be wishing they hadn't heard that angry fisherman; the one who was worried he might have to turn to farming and was shouting, "But to mow ain't nice, Paddy." You should have heard the row, later, when P2 explained to P1 that he thought he'd shouted, "Put amo in t’rice paddy," . . . "And who the fux Paddy, anyway?" P1 asked.

I think P2 may be gone by Songkran . . . if P1 plans it right. Get him parading in the rear of a Police pickup - pointing his big finger and all - and then signal to the driver to accelerate like shit off a shovel. Yehhh!

Well as a former soldier and ammunitions specialist. I will say firstly. The first find was very old and non conclusive. I would say that the army buried that lot. 

I will also state right now. That these grenades were 100% planted via the regime. All of a sudden these old men are location specialists  lol. They are fresh out of lock up. Prawit your a funny old man. Hey don't fall ill please. There will be future court appearances for deception.

Don't just look at the photo sunshine grab a copy put it in photoshop and zoom in, then you will see what we can as we specialise in checking certain things. its a plant and not an organic one. Now be a good boy and go back to barracks.Its a good job they do not know how to do forensic's here that is for sure.
