Pattaya police intensifies crackdown on illegal firearm possession

[webfact]

 

The sun had just started setting over the Pattaya skyline on August 12, as a team of vigilant officers from the Banglamung Police, led by Pol. Col. Nawin Sinthurat, intensified their efforts to crack down on illegal firearms.

 

Situated along the Eastern Gulf coast of Thailand, Pattaya is a city known for its lively nightlife and stunning beaches. However, recent instances of unlicensed firearms had put a cloud on the city’s charm, prompting the local police department to launch an extensive crackdown operation.

 

In one of these episodes, officers patrolling Soi 33 in Naklua area noticed the curious behaviour of a Thai woman outside her rented apartment. The 44 years old woman, recognised as Buakhao Fakthet, was disturbing the peace. Upon a formal search, she was found to be in possession of an unregistered 9mm handgun, extra magazines and ammunitions.

That's a crackdown? coming across 2 by chance, is not what I'd call a crackdown, a crackdown would be checking every vehicle for guns and weapons. Illegal guns here are more than the states. Jail time should be compulsory and registered guns locked away. IMO

Been through a couple of police checks last 2 weeks on The Railway Line Rd, under the Hwy 7 flyover. Not stopping westerners, and they appeared to be searching both motorcycles and trucks....I wonder if that was part of their efforts.

No. That gesture with some fingers of her left hand is a secret signal meaning "Help! I am being held prisoner by six unidentified men"⁰
