Police have arrested four suspects, including a 16-year-old shooter, in connection with a shooting incident at Jomtien Beach. The shooting, which involved shots fired in the dead of night, miraculously did not harm the victims.

 

Authorities acted swiftly to detain the group, recovering the firearm and ammunition used in the attack. Among those arrested are key members of the so-called “Arale Gang,” who reportedly used four motorcycles to carry out the attack.

 

The 16-year-old gunman claimed the shooting was a result of a dispute following an earlier altercation in which his older brother was assaulted. According to one of the suspects’ guardians, the teenager had borrowed the gun from his father, who had inherited it from the boy’s late grandfather. The shooting incident marks the first time the youth has been involved in such violent activity.

 

Police are currently pursuing four additional suspects believed to be involved in the violent events that unfolded after Mother’s Day, vowing to bring all responsible parties to justice.
