Crime Arrest in Khon Kaen as Two Youths Caught Selling Illegal Firearms Online
Picture courtesy of Matichon. Two young men in Khon Kaen have been arrested in an operation after attempting to sell illegal firearms through Facebook. The suspects were caught following a sting operation conducted by Thailand’s Technology Crime Suppression Division (TCSD), which resulted in a failed escape attempt and the seizure of homemade weapons. Police Lieutenant General Trirong Phiwphan, Commissioner of the TCSD, revealed details of the arrest during a press conference held at the division’s headquarters in Muang Thong Thani on the morning of 12 June. The investigation began when officers discovered a Facebook account advertising firearms for sale in a public group easily accessible to the general public. Undercover officers initiated contact and arranged to purchase two weapons for 21,000 baht each. A meeting was set at a petrol station in Mueang District, Khon Kaen Province. Upon arrival at the location, suspects later identified as Mr. Jeab and Mr. Singh pulled up in a red sedan. As officers moved in to make the arrest, Mr. Jeab realised what was happening and attempted to flee by reversing the vehicle. However, police had pre-positioned three vehicles to block any escape, successfully apprehending the suspects. Authorities seized two modified homemade 9mm firearms, which had been converted from BB guns, along with five rounds of 9mm ammunition, one .380 ACP round and four magazines. During questioning, the suspects confessed to having sourced BB guns from local contacts and shops in Khon Kaen, then modifying them into functional firearms using knowledge acquired from local weapons experts via a LINE messaging group. They sold each weapon for approximately 20,000 baht. Both men have been charged with illegal possession of firearms and ammunition, and for carrying firearms in public without a permit, violations under the 1947 Firearms, Ammunition, Explosives, Fireworks and Imitation Firearms Act. The suspects have been handed over to investigators for prosecution, with further inquiries underway to trace the origin and network involved in the illicit weapons trade.

US Pushes Forward with Private Aid Plan for Gaza Amid UN Opposition
While Hamas apologists are prolific in spreading the terrorist's favourite lies, the terrorists themselves admit to murdering the Palestinian clan members who were trying to secure aid deliveries are reached the GHF centers safely. Of course being Hamas, they will add those numbers to the already inflated numbers they add for all alleged incidents and they will not admit to their own members getting killed, just add more bodies to the Palestinian death body count. Hamas police says it killed 12 members of Gaza’s Israeli-backed Abu Shabab militia https://www.timesofisrael.com/hamas-police-says-it-killed-12-members-of-gazas-israeli-backed-abu-shabab-militia/ "The killings came shortly after the US- and Israel-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) accused Hamas of attacking a bus carrying its Palestinian aid workers, killing at least eight, and preventing the wounded from being treated at a hospital in the Strip. GHF interim CEO John Acree said some employees “may have been taken hostage.” Dozens of Palestinians have been killed while trying to reach GHF distribution points since they began operating in late May, according to Hamas’s civil defence agency. The IDF has confirmed firing warning shots in at least eight instances, but disputed the Hamas death tolls." Note the source of the allegation of Palestinian deaths. Another new low by Hamas is also now preventing the wounded GHF aid workers, the ones they did not manage to murder that is from getting hospital treatment. -

Accident Motorcyclist Killed After Ignoring Railway Barrier in Chonburi
Picture courtesy of Workpoint. A 56-year-old man was killed in a crash on the night on 11 June, after attempting to ride his motorcycle across a railway crossing in Sri Racha district, Chonburi, despite warning signals and a lowered barrier. The incident occurred at approximately 20:10, at the railway crossing near Laem Chabang Tower, Moo 8, in the Thung Sukhla subdistrict. Rescue units from Sawang Prateep Sri Racha Foundation and medics from Vibharam Laem Chabang Hospital were dispatched to the scene following reports of a collision involving a train and a motorcyclist. Upon arrival, emergency responders found a green Honda Super Cub motorcycle overturned near the railway tracks, its front end severely damaged. The rider, identified as Mr. Krisana 56, of Bang Kaeo subdistrict, Nakhon Chai Si district, Nakhon Pathom, was lying unconscious with a severe head injury and no detectable pulse. Despite attempts to revive him with CPR, medics confirmed his death at the scene. CCTV footage reviewed by police investigators revealed that the railway barrier had been lowered well in advance of the train’s arrival. Multiple vehicles were seen waiting patiently behind the barrier. Mr. Krisana, however, rode alone and overtook the waiting vehicles, proceeding to bypass the lowered barrier. As the crossing is located on a slope, Mr. Krisana reportedly lost control and fell, his motorcycle sliding dangerously close to the tracks. In a desperate attempt to remove the vehicle, he stood and tried to pull it away, but before he could succeed, an oncoming train struck both the motorcycle and Mr. Krisana. Eyewitnesses described a harrowing scene, with one bystander saying the train’s impact caused the motorcycle to drag Mr. Krisana into its path. Mr. Kaifah 32, a local motorcycle repairman who witnessed the event, said: “He tried to get the bike off the tracks, but the train was already there. He stood up and was pulling at the bike when it hit. I ran over to help but it was too late. It all happened so fast, I was shocked.” The crossing, described as dimly lit, may have contributed to the severity of the incident. Other riders waiting at the crossing were visibly shaken, with some turning around and leaving the scene. Police officers from Laem Chabang Police Station conducted an on-site investigation and interviewed witnesses. Mr. Krisana’s body was later transported to Laem Chabang Hospital. Authorities are now working to contact his family so that funeral arrangements can be made. Adapted by Asean Now from Workpoint 2025-06-13 -
