On January 16th, 2024, the Thai Metropolitan Police Bureau captured two suspects in Kaeng Khoi, Saraburi, who allegedly fabricated firearms and ammunition, and illegally sold them on digital platforms.

 

According to a report by the police, crime statistics involving firearms used in robbery, stealing, and assault in an aggressive manner without fear of the law were increasing. The police as a result investigated and tracked down an illegal firearm network trading on online platforms.

 

The suspects were publicly identified only as Mr. Wimon, 39, and Ms. Chantana, 37, who were reportedly charged with possessing firearms and ammunition without permission, and assembling, repairing, importing, or selling firearms or ammunition for trade without permission.

Amazing they think they can remain invisible on online sites.

They seriously need to sort out basic education in this country.

Many still do though, or change their profile often.

Perfectly normal in Thailand with ho-one seemingly able to join the dots. Such as if we advertise on-line then the police might see it as well as potential customers. Unbelievable, but we see it all the time.
