Chinese man nabbed in Bangkok with war weapons - planned to sell them on Instagram

 

Picture: Naew Na

 

Thailand's chief of police personally led a raiding party of tech and other police to a room at a Bang - Na Trad condominium yesterday evening.

 

Tech police had been investigating an Instagram account under the name "dewaffen" and discovered there were weapons at the home of a Chinese man in building D Thana City Nouvelle 9 in Bang Plee. 

 

Armed with a search warrant Pol Gen Suwat Chaengyodsuk and other officers found a veritable armory of nine assault rifles, two grenades, 5.56 ammunition 12,000 rounds, five grams of "ice" methamphetamine and drug taking equipment,a lathe and 40 gun accessories.

 

 

 

Wu Qiang, 37, who was looking after the room was taken away to the Bang Kaew police station. 

 

(De) Waffen SS was the military arm of the Nazi Party, notes Thaivisa. 

 

An internet search of the site on Instagram came up with another Chinese sounding name. 

 

Police claim weapons and ammunition were being sold via the online account.

Cannot understand all the excitement, as he only had them for personal protection.????????

[Enzian]

So all those Bangkok noir novels are not so exaggerated after all.

[ezzra]

First and foremost lock him up just for being so daft as to sell these kind of weapons on an open social media, and than throw the book at him for the other charges...

Can they be recycled?

[Phuketshrew]

... and just where did a Chinese national living in Bangkok happen to come by these weapons of war?

What about going after the Thai's involved as well?

[Morch]

Did he buy them in-country or smuggle them in? Not sure which one's worse.

There is a Mexican artist, Perdo Reyes, who makes musical instruments out of weapons. There was one show, named Disarm, featuring a full set orchestra, and a smaller exhibition earlier. Also a Serbian artist doing similar stuff, name escapes me.

Ok, but where did he get the guns from? That's the question I would like answered.

Internally smuggling them in would be far, far worse !

[mr_lob]

Give him a shot of Sinovac, that'll fettle him

[sammieuk1]

Anyone notice there are two grenades missing off the table ????

[Emdog]

War weapons: what, no bullet proof vests? Remember when that reporter was busted for having one & it was claimed to be a "war weapon"?

[Guderian]

The government will be soooooo disappointed that he wasn't trying to sell a submarine as well, lol!

[natway09]

Bet they came over from Cambodia where everything in these photos are available

[fordguy61mi]

Were they fully-automatic weapons? If not, that’s not an “Arsenal”. Geez.

Probably bought them via FB and was flogging them on for a profit.
