Crime Two Malaysians Arrested Near Sadao Border with Suspected Call Centre Equipment

Two Malaysian nationals have been arrested, after allegedly smuggling illegal telecommunication equipment, which is believed to be destined for a Thai-based call centre scam operation. The arrests were carried out by the Songkhla Immigration Bureau in collaboration with Border Patrol Police 437 and Sadao Provincial Police, following an intensified national crackdown on transnational crime and cross-border threats, as ordered by Police General Kittirat Phanpet, Commissioner-General of the Royal Thai Police. The suspects, identified as Eugene 37, and Tan 25, both Malaysian nationals, entered Thailand via the Sadao Immigration Checkpoint on 12 June. Acting on intelligence, officers detained the two men separately at a local 7-Eleven store in Ban Dan Nok and at a condominium in the Sadao district of Songkhla. Seized from the suspects were eight SIM box devices and eight internet routers fitted with SIM cards, equipment classified under Thai law as radio communication devices, which require official authorisation to possess or operate. According to investigators, the devices were in full working condition and not commercially available within Thailand, leading authorities to believe they had been smuggled from a neighbouring country. The suspects claimed the equipment was intended for CCTV data storage, but this explanation was contradicted by technical inspections. As a result, both men were charged under Section 246 of the Customs Act B.E. 2560 (2017) and Section 6 of the Radio Communications Act B.E. 2498 (1955) for unlawful possession and importation of communication devices. Police Major General Songprod Sirisukha, Commander of Immigration Division 6, stated that the operation reflected successful inter-agency cooperation. It also underscored the immigration bureau’s ongoing efforts to disrupt the cross-border activities of foreign nationals involved in illegal enterprises, particularly those linked to call centre syndicates targeting victims in Thailand and abroad. The suspects and confiscated equipment have been handed over to investigators at Sadao Police Station for further legal proceedings. Authorities emphasised that the crackdown is part of a broader directive led by senior Royal Thai Police officers to tighten border security and bolster public confidence by suppressing foreign-led criminal networks.

Crime Gunshot at Bangkok School: Love Affair Dispute Ends in Shooting Near Swimming Pool
Picture courtesy of Matichon. A male teacher was injured by a gunshot during a heated altercation involving a love triangle dispute at a school in the Bang Khen district of Bangkok. The incident took place near the school’s swimming pool, shocking staff and students alike. Police from Bang Khen Police Station were alerted to the sound of gunfire by the local emergency dispatch centre. Officers and rescue personnel from the Por Teck Tung Foundation were immediately dispatched to the scene. The incident occurred at a government-run school offering classes from Kindergarten 1 to Mathayom 3, located in the Anusawari subdistrict. Upon arrival, officers discovered a male teacher bleeding from the head. Preliminary reports indicated that the teacher had been arguing with another man over a romantic entanglement. During the confrontation, the assailant allegedly struck the teacher on the head with a firearm. The gun discharged during the assault, with one bullet reportedly firing unintentionally, but fortunately did not hit the victim. The attacker fled the scene immediately after the shooting. Emergency responders stabilised the victim at the scene before transporting him to Bhumibol Adulyadej Hospital for further treatment. Police are now actively searching for the suspect and investigating the motive behind the incident, which is believed to be rooted in a personal dispute involving an alleged affair. Security footage from the school and surrounding area is being reviewed as part of the ongoing investigation. Authorities have reassured the public that the school is cooperating fully with the ongoing investigation. Adapted by Asean Now from Matichon 2025-06-17
