Thai Police Arrest Duo Smuggling Chinese Migrants: 

Immigration officers and Pa Rai police in Mukdahan intercepted a pickup truck smuggling 10 illegal Chinese migrants on September 4. After receiving a tip-off, police set up a barrier, but the driver, Nampol, rammed through and fled. Following a high-speed chase, both Nampol and his accomplice, Natthapol, were arrested. Police found a Glock 19 pistol and over 100 mobile phones in the truck. Both Thai men face charges of assisting illegal entry and illegal firearm possession, while Chinese nationals are charged with unlawful entry.
