Bangkok Police Arrest Six Members of Local Gang Involved in Illegal Firearms Trade

[webfact]

 

Bangkok—At 3:30 AM, on April 8th, 2024, the Thai metropolitan police officers captured six local gang members who allegedly conspired to commit felony crimes including attempting murder, illegally selling firearms, and other offenses, at a residence in Nong Chok, Bangkok.

According to the metropolitan police report, locals filed complaint reports of Nong Chok local gang members who reportedly stirred fear and frustration in locals as they allegedly robbed, murdered, and sold illicit substances and illegal firearms. The gang members were on the wanted list by the local police.

 

However, the suspects escaped from police pursuit many times and allegedly sent a letter to the police station stating “Catch us if you can.” It was reported that the suspect group only took refuge in the Nong Chok area but was originally from elsewhere.

 

 

Upon the police observation, it was determined that the gang planned to commit another crime in the Nong Chak area. The special investigative teams were then stationed on observation locally for more than 36 hours and were able to detect two of the Nong Chok local gang members.

Plastic bags over the head?

They should all be tried and convicted as adults, none of this 50% discount BS for pleading guilty, mandatory sentencing should be implemented on gun crimes here, like the UK.
