rooster59 20904 Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 Thai man caught with LIVE GRENADE at Pattaya checkpoint Image: Ruksiam News Pattaya police have arrested a Thai man after he was found to be in possession of a live hand grenade. Officers apprehended the man after he began acting suspiciously as he passed through a security checkpoint on Soi Ko Phai at 11pm on Saturday evening. Officers searched the man’s bag and discovered the grenade. A bomb disposal squad then attended the scene to make the device safe. The man claimed the grenade wasn’t his and didn’t know how it got into his bag. He said that a friend of his must have placed it there. Police didn’t believe the story and took the man to Pattaya police station for further questioning. In another incident not far from where police arrested the man with the grenade, a 42 year old Thai man was arrested following reports a weapon was being fired. Police attended the scene on Soi Bun Bunkaram 5 at around midnight and found a man sat behind the wheel of a pick up truck, which had its engine running. The man was also acting suspiciously and a search of his vehicle unearthed a loaded gun under the driver’s seat. The man told police the weapon was his but denied firing it earlier that evening. The man was arrested and taken to Pattaya police station. It was also discovered he does not have a license to own a firearm.

unamazedloso 5080 Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 And where exactly do you get grenades from? Hmm, surely people in uniform aren't corrupt. These people are running this country with the purest of intentions so this behavior couldnt be real. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichardColeman 50404 Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 I'm guessing he went to a wife swapping party, and decided the grenade was a fair swap and the other man could keep the wife Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

how241 1175 Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 It looks like a hand grenade I had years ago, bought in a army/navy surplus store in the USA. It was drilled out in the bottom and the gunpowder removed. It looks like a WW2 style. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
