Commissioner of Provincial Police Region 5 Pol. Lt. Gen. Chaiya Siri-amphankul reported that Theerasak Suwan a 31 year old resident of Kheelek in Mae Rim had been arrested with a knife and the components to make more bombs.

CCTV video footage taken at bombing sites in San Kamphaeng between December 19 and 22 led the police to arrest Theerasak. Theerasak confessed to police that he had placed bombs in a rest room at the San Kamphaeng District office, at an orchard in Chaechang district and on a road leading to Chaechang village and finally in the restrooms at Wat Chaechang; the bombs damaged both the District Office and the Wat.

The suspect said that he used to take part in political demonstrations with the Red Shirt groups before but that he had not done this out of political motivation or that he had been ordered but to create disruption and chaos. Police continue to investigate the background of the bombings. Pol. Lt Gen Chaiya added this was a serious issue for national security.
