Three hand grenades were discovered inside a plastic bag during a house renovation in Bangkok’s Bang Kapi district, prompting an urgent response from bomb disposal experts.

 

Officials from Lat Phrao District Office were cleaning and renovating the property at 1200 Soi Sriboonruang 4, Khlong Chan, when they stumbled upon the suspicious items. The plastic bag was initially thought to contain harmless materials but revealed explosives upon inspection.

 

The workers immediately placed the bag back in its original location and reported the find to the local police.

 

Bomb disposal officers from the Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) unit and forensic teams quickly arrived at the scene. Upon inspection, the bag was found to contain three hand grenades: an M26, an MK2, and an M67, all in operational condition.

 

The EOD team safely removed the grenades for disposal and will investigate their origin. Authorities have confirmed that the area is now secure and are urging anyone with information about the explosives to contact the police.

 

Further investigations are underway to determine why the grenades were stored in the house and whether criminal activity is involved.
