Crime Two Delivery Riders Arrested for Modifying & Selling Illegal Firearms Online in Pattaya
Picture courtesy of Kaoded. Two food delivery riders have been arrested in central Pattaya for illegally modifying blank guns into live firearms and selling them online. Police seized multiple weapons and tools used in the illegal operation, with a third suspect later apprehended in Sriracha following a sting operation. Pol. Col. Man Rotthong, Chief Investigator of the Tourist Police Bureau, alongside Pol. Lt. Col. Kritporn Saengsura, led an operation that resulted in the arrest of Mr. Te, 24 and Mr. Pleng, 21. The pair were caught in possession of several modified firearms, including a Colt MMK4 and a Kimber pistol, both .380 calibre, along with seven rounds of ammunition, magazines and various tools such as drills, grinders, clamps and spare parts. Investigators had earlier detected suspicious activity on Facebook, where a Kimber handgun was being advertised for 15,000 baht. Undercover officers arranged a meeting at Soi 1, Pattaya Second Road, where a suspect named Mr. Worakan arrived to deliver the weapon and was immediately detained. Further investigation led to a parked motorcycle nearby, guarded by Mr. Warasin, where another modified firearm was discovered hidden in the suspect’s waistband and inside the vehicle. The two men reportedly confessed to modifying blank guns into real firearms for a fee of 2,500 baht per unit. Both work as delivery riders for a popular app, but claimed their regular income was insufficient, prompting them to take up illegal weapons modification as a side business. They insisted the guns were not intended for violent purposes. A subsequent search of their rented accommodation uncovered a cache of equipment used in the firearm conversion process, all of which was seized as evidence. The suspects now face multiple charges including possession of unlicensed firearms and ammunition, carrying firearms in public without permission, and manufacturing and selling firearms without a licence. In a related development, police were able to lure and arrest a third individual, Mr. Tom 50, in Sriracha. He had allegedly listed a Kimber Stainless Ultra Raptor II with .45 calibre ammunition for sale via Facebook. The weapon was handed over during a prearranged meeting, and Mr. Tom was apprehended on the spot. He has been transferred to Sriracha Police Station to face prosecution. Authorities are continuing their investigation into the online firearms trade and have urged the public to report suspicious activity via official channels.

Report British Influencer's Lamborghini Recovered in Thailand After Eight-Year Saga
That would take work to get a more accurate pic, like maybe 2 extra minutes of backbreaking keyboard strokes.... But just searching and taking the first random pic of the guy in the story with a Lambo was apparently all that was cared about. Typical.... -

Crime Single Mother Shot Dead While Waiting to Send Daughter to School
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. A young single mother was shot and killed in a suspected case of mistaken identity while waiting to send her five-year-old daughter to school outside her home in the insurgency-hit province of Pattani. The shooting occurred around 08:00 on 16 June, in Moo 5, Pakur subdistrict, Thung Yang Daeng district. Two women were shot while standing and conversing near the front of a house. The victims have been named as Ms. Nureesan 29, who later died from her injuries, and Ms. Achura 24, who sustained a gunshot wound to the leg and is in stable condition. Ms. Nureesan, who was raising her daughter alone, was reportedly waiting with her friend for a school transport vehicle when two assailants on a Honda Wave motorcycle approached from behind and opened fire. According to eyewitnesses, the gunmen fired two to three shots before speeding away. One of the attackers was heard muttering, “Wrong person,” as they fled the scene. Neighbours rushed to assist the victims and transported them to Thung Yang Daeng Hospital. Ms. Nureesan, who sustained critical injuries to her upper body, was later transferred to Pattani Hospital where she was pronounced dead. Local police, led by Superintendent Pol. Col. Alamt Mekharat and investigating officer Pol. Lt. Col. Adisak Monsin, are now conducting a full investigation. Officers are reviewing CCTV footage, interviewing witnesses, and exploring all possible motives, including personal disputes and links to ongoing regional unrest. No angle is being ruled out. The identity and motive of the attackers remain unclear and police believe the gunmen disguised themselves in traditional Islamic robes to obscure their appearance. The victim’s family is devastated. Speaking through tears, a relative said, “She raised her daughter alone. Every morning, she would send her off to school. She was even building a small house near where she was killed. It’s heartbreaking. Her little girl is only five years old and still doesn’t understand what’s happened.” Authorities have vowed to bring those responsible to justice and are appealing to the public for any information that might aid the investigation.

Crime Long-Running Feud Turns Deadly: Man Killed in Ayutthaya Shooting
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. A bitter ten-year feud between neighbours ended in tragedy on Monday when a 35-year-old man fatally shot his neighbour outside an appliance repair shop in Uthai district, Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya Province. Police and emergency responders were called to the scene shortly after 13:00 on 16 June, following reports of a violent altercation and shooting in Moo 1, Thanu subdistrict. Upon arrival, officers discovered Mr. Theptat aged 52, lying motionless outside his shop with gunshot wounds to the head and torso. Despite receiving CPR and emergency treatment, he was pronounced dead after being rushed to Rajthanee Hospital. The suspect, identified as Mr. Weerayut, lives next door to the victim and was found hiding in his house after the incident. Police apprehended him without resistance and recovered a .38 calibre revolver, along with five spent cartridges discarded in a rubbish bin. According to investigators, the two men had been involved in ongoing disputes for more than a decade, stemming from issues related to shared access and noise from revving motorcycle engines. Tensions finally boiled over on the day of the shooting. Mr. Weerayut told police that while returning from a car repair shop with his wife, the victim allegedly hurled obscene insults at him. An argument ensued, during which Mr. Theptat allegedly brandished a knife and attempted to attack him. The suspect claims he fled to his home, retrieved the firearm and returned to fire five shots in self-defence. However, the victim’s wife, Mrs. Pranee, gave a conflicting account through tears. She said her husband was sitting in front of their shop singing karaoke when the suspect arrived on a motorbike. An argument broke out and Mr. Weerayut drew his weapon and shot multiple times. She added that her husband was unarmed and posed no threat. “I was too scared to intervene,” she said. “When the shooting stopped, I ran to my husband and found him lying in a pool of blood. I called for help immediately.” Police have detained the suspect and his wife for further questioning at Uthai Police Station. Charges are expected to include murder and illegal possession and use of a firearm. Authorities are continuing their investigation and collecting evidence, including witness statements and CCTV footage, to determine the full circumstances surrounding the case.
