Picture courtesy of Khaosod. Police have dismantled a clandestine firearms trafficking network dubbed “Ngor Wat Tuek”, arresting a 45-year-old man accused of illegally selling weapons, including modified guns and ammunition, through Facebook groups aimed at young buyers. The operation was launched under the direction of Pol Lt Gen Siam Boonsom, Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police Bureau, along with key officers from the Division of Special Investigation (DSI). Mr Thanongsak, also known as “Ngor”, was apprehended on 22 May at 21:10 outside a convenience store in Bang Phai Subdistrict, Mueang District, Nonthaburi Province. Authorities seized a large cache of illegal weapons and related items, including: • A Mossberg shotgun with registration. • A modified Sig Sauer P365 semi-automatic pistol (.380 calibre). • A Gorinco 9mm semi-automatic pistol with registration. • A Taurus Brasil .38 calibre revolver (unregistered). • Several boxes of ammunition, totalling over 200 roundsacross various calibres (.38, .340, .380, 12-gauge). • A sparta knife. • A dismantled M4 replica intended to be converted into a real firearm. The suspect had allegedly been advertising guns in a Facebook group called “Thai Homemade Guns and Blank Gun Modifications”. Under the alias “Sirisak”, police officers, posing as buyers, contacted him and negotiated a deal for 60,000 baht. The exchange was arranged at the convenience store where he was eventually caught with the weapons hidden in a box wrapped in second-hand clothing. During questioning, Mr Thanongsak confessed to selling illegal firearms for several years. He claimed that his initial interest stemmed from a desire to protect his family, which includes three teenage sons. Financial difficulties and access to online gun communities led him to begin manufacturing and selling weapons, with prices ranging from 20,000 to 100,000 baht. Police have charged him with multiple firearms offences, including: • Illegal sale of firearms and ammunition without proper authorisation. • Possession of firearms and ammunition without a licence. • Carrying weapons in public without legitimate reason or permission. Mr Thanongsak and the confiscated items have been transferred to Bang Si Mueang Police Station for further legal proceedings. Adapted by Asean Now from Khaosod 2025-05-25. -

Trump Admin Revokes Harvard’s Right to Enroll International Students
It is "a" part of Penn. Penn is far broader than just one college or school. I spent a lot of time there. I walked past Wharton many times on the way to other classes. What else am I confused about, do you suppose? -

Crime Husband & Wife Arrested for Running Investment Scam Involving Scrap Air Conditioners
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. A husband and wife have been arrested in Chok Chai District, Nakhon Ratchasima, after being accused of orchestrating a widespread investment scam that defrauded numerous victims across Thailand. The couple posed as contractors and lured victims into bogus deals involving the resale of used air conditioners, old electrical wiring and industrial machinery. According to police, Mr Lertchai 50mand Ms Waree 54, were apprehended on multiple fraud charges following an investigation by the Metropolitan Police Bureau’s Division of Special Investigation (DSI). The arrests were carried out by Operation Team 3 under the direction of Pol Lt Col Chada Sesawet. The suspects reportedly targeted individuals encountered through their work in the construction sector. They claimed to have acquired 100 second-hand air conditioners from a defunct hotel, priced at 1,000 baht each, and invited victims to invest in the purportedly profitable resale. The scheme extended to similar pitches involving used electrical wiring allegedly sourced from a hotel in the Khao Yai area, valued at 320,000 baht and outdated milling machinery supposedly worth 300,000 baht. Once victims transferred funds, the couple vanished and ceased all contact, delivering no goods or returns on the promised investments. Mr Lertchai is wanted under three separate warrants: • Warrant 179/2564, issued by the Bangkok South District Court on 9 July 2021 for fraud, related to a case under the jurisdiction of Thonglor Police Station. • Warrant 26/2567, issued on 30 January 2024 by the Nakhon Pathom District Court for joint fraud. • Warrant 370/2567, dated 6 September 2024, issued by the Nonthaburi District Court, again for joint fraud. He has now been handed over to Thonglor Police for legal proceedings. Ms Waree is facing similar charges, with two outstanding warrants: • Warrant 371/2567, issued by the Nonthaburi District Court on 6 September 2024 for joint fraud. • Warrant 27/2567, issued by the Nakhon Pathom District Court on 30 January 2024, also for joint fraud. She confessed to using the money obtained from the scams for personal expenses and has been transferred to Nonthaburi Police for further investigation and prosecution. Police have urged anyone who may have fallen victim to similar scams to come forward and provide statements to assist in the ongoing investigation. Adapted by Asean Now from Khaosod 2025-05-25.
