Crime Gold Shop Owner’s Son Opens Fire on Police During Raid in Trang Province
Picture courtesy of Komchadluek. A dramatic early-morning police raid in Trang province nearly turned deadly when the son of a local gold shop owner opened fire on officers, mistaking them for intruders despite multiple warnings that they were acting under lawful authority. A narcotics suppression team, accompanied by Trang Provincial Police investigators, arrived in Moo 4, Na Mueang Phet subdistrict, Sikao district, to execute a search warrant on a house suspected of harbouring illegal activities. However, as officers moved in to secure the property, 31-year-old Mr Phanuphong, the son of a nearby gold shop owner, opened fire from his family’s premises using a pump-action shotgun. Despite police announcing their presence and confirming they were acting under a legal warrant, Mr Phanuphong allegedly fired several shots, claiming later that he believed his life was in danger. Officers were forced to take cover as shots rang out. Reinforcements, including the local subdistrict head officer, attempted to calm the situation, but Mr Phanuphong reportedly fired at them as well. The situation was defused only after officers contacted Mr Phanuphong’s family by phone, leading to his eventual surrender. In total, the suspect discharged seven rounds. Remarkably, no injuries were reported. According to police, Mr Phanuphong claimed he had woken to take his child to school and became alarmed when he saw unfamiliar individuals near his property. Although officers had identified themselves repeatedly, the suspect said he neither heard nor understood them. During a subsequent search of the property, police seized a significant cache of firearms and ammunition, including: • One 12-gauge shotgun (used in the incident) • One 11mm handgun with 55 rounds of ammunition • Twenty-one 12-gauge shotgun shells • Two magazines containing eight rounds each (total 16 rounds) • Twenty-nine .45 calibre bullets • Thirty-nine .380 calibre bullets • Four 7.65mm rounds • Eleven 9mm rounds and one magazine with six rounds • Three leather holsters • Seven gun cases Mr Phanuphong now faces multiple serious charges, including attempted murder of a law enforcement officer, obstructing official duties and discharging a firearm in a public area without just cause. He has been taken into custody pending further legal proceedings. Police have reiterated that all protocols were followed and that officers clearly announced themselves before approaching the premises. Adapted by Asean Now from Khomchadluek 2025-06-18 -

Do you think the US President will declare martial law within the next 18 months?
Did the President predict Obama would declare martial law? All his predictions have an odd way of turning into reality won't you agree It's almost like he's looking in the mirror when he accuses his political opponents of anything 😄 -

The FBI National Academy Alumni Association of Thailand (FBI-NA) held a high-level seminar on 17:June, on the prevention and resolution of threats posed by transnational crime, aiming to enhance knowledge, share expertise and promote international collaboration among law enforcement professionals. The seminar, held at the Royal Bangkok Sports Club Polo Club on Witthayu Road in Bangkok’s Pathum Wan district, brought together top police officials and security experts from across Thailand. It focused on modern techniques, up-to-date intelligence and strategies for tackling various forms of transnational crime threatening the region. A key highlight of the event was a keynote address by Mr. Benjamin G. Virtue, Legal Attaché of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) at the U.S. Embassy in Bangkok. His presentation was warmly received by an audience of senior Thai police leaders and security specialists. Distinguished attendees included: • Pol. Gen.

It brings together mid- to senior-level law enforcement officials from the United States and over 150 countries, with the goal of setting global standards, advancing knowledge, and fostering cross-border collaboration in law enforcement. Thailand is one of the countries with the highest number of graduates from the programme in Asia. Many alumni now hold key leadership positions in various national law enforcement agencies and have applied their training to develop Thai policing capabilities. The Thai FBI-NA Alumni Association serves as a central hub for coordination, knowledge exchange and international liaison. Its mission includes strengthening ties with global partners, enhancing the skills of its members and playing an active role in addressing the global challenge of transnational crime. As transnational threats continue to evolve, such initiatives underscore the importance of international cooperation and shared expertise in maintaining peace and security both in Thailand and the broader region.
