Huge illegal firearms seized in Samut Sakhon

A seizeable cache of firearms and explosives and an ID card of a United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship guard were found in an apartment room of a Nakhon Ratchasima native in Samut Sakhon province today following a search by a combined police and army force.

Following a tipoff, the security force raided an apartment room rented by Ms Chanthana Warakornsakul in Tambon Suan Luang, Krathumbaen district of Samut Sakhon.

A subsequent search of the room unveiled one AK47 assault rifle with foldable stock and 777 rounds of ammunition for the rifle, one rifle mounted with a telescope and 38 cartridges, one M79 grenade launcher, one MP1 submachine gun with 48 rounds of ammunition, one carbine with 154 cartridges, one M4 submachine gun with 275 rounds of ammunition and a silencer, one pistol, eight improvised explosive devices, three hand grenades, 120 bottles filled with gun power, three cameras, a bundle of electrical wire, a UDD staff card and a UDD guard card No 3084.

The suspect, Ms Chanthana, was detained for further interrogation to determine where the illegal firearms came from and where they were supposed to be used.

Great work

The police, DSI, CAPO didn´t find in 6 month nothing.
Now the army is cleaning up since two days.
Bingo.

A good start and hopefully they will keep it up but I wouldn't exactly call it a 'huge' seizure.

More proof positive of the necessity of the martial law declaration. The army truly did step in just in time to save the country from eruption of communist Red terror.

A set up by Suthep and the mad monk,an obvious plant.

Well done and it is great to see that now the army are in control of security that all these weapons are being found and confiscated. Just shows when you have committed and determined people doing the job how things get done. I take great solace in the knowledge that for every bullet confiscated is the potential of one innocent child or protestor that is saved.

On another note - I see these are "3rd hand" weapons that were found with a "3rd hand" ID card and as reported in another article were to be delivered so other "3rd hands" could "disrupt" PDRC protests.

CAPO and the PTP cannot be forgiven for allowing all these weapons to be allowed into Bangkok. It is simply a government allowing terrorism to flourish under the guise of democracy. What do you expect from Chalerm when he said he would protect the UDD . Expect from yingluck that retreats to UDD strongholds when she feels some heat. Expect from Nattuwatt that was a PTP minister and a UDD leader.

Accused terrorists that need to be put away so no more innocent women, children and protestors are maimed or killed.

I see no more attacks on peaceful PDRC protest sites since martial law has been implemented. These seizures of weapons are really stemming the tide.

Thank you army. Thank you Prayuth. You are a savor of the people.

Key word 'huge'. NOT.

It must have been a set up by the anti government people. Now who would leave his ID around like that. What goes around comes around.

Isnt that amazing?

The police must be hating this now the military is in charge. They actually have to do police work now.

I would almost bet money, the RTP suddenly have many more leads,soon, on Who are firing grenades, killing innocents, including children.

An M4 is a rifle, not a "submachine gun". It is not even an automatic weapon.

In the massacre of Trat fewer weapons were used.

But so funny it is not.

Actually with both PDRC and UDD keeping excellent records of their guards and members, with just some simple keystrokes searching for "3084" they will be able to give more info on the related person than even his mother would know.

Great Work General.

Now take over the DSI and lock up Tarit.

Reckon if you were on the wrong end of a fire fight facing guys with this amount of fire power you might just change your mind....!!

To my mind, any firearms in the possession of such evil characters is a HUGE problem. Do you not agree?

Ye,gods,an obvious set up,this is why i generally stay on the other forums,if you blokes are to shortsighted to see this well,up to you.

Third success for Army since the beginning of Martial law yesterday. Gen Prayut warn terrorist before but they not listen him, now this terrorist will pay for their act.......

Good work...... Reds movement are now under spotlight.....

I wait comment from former CAPO leaders and Fab4

A fictional character i beleive,ask carlos the Jackal,oh no hang on he is in jail,but if you are a terrorist you would not do this,but then again,tit.

An M4 is a rifle, not a "submachine gun". It is not even an automatic weapon.

The M4 has selective fire options including semi-automatic and three-round burst (like the M16A2 and M16A4), while the M4A1 has the capability to fire fully automatic instead of three-round burst

Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M4_carbine

Even the 3 round burst mode qualifies it as automatic. One trigger pull, multiple bullets....yup, that's automatic. And it's a scaled down version of the M16 carbines. That makes it a sub machine gun in some translations.

Well, Thais aren't that big, so they might struggle to handle such huge weapons.

Very happy that the army have taken this step and I forsee more to come. As for Thai Media to translate anything correctly THAT IS A JOKE. As another poster pointed out the M4 is NOT a ach

Or fascist yellow takeover by intimidation and manipulation.

Next you will say the rice scheme has no corruption in it!

That is PTP logic right there.

I love your sarcasm

I'm wondering if the army had just enough intelligence coming in over the last few weeks for the general to determine that this was the time to strike out against the status quo, before the horse got out of the barn. Definitely easier to shut the barn doors before that happens.

May not be a huge cache of weapons but it does send a huge message to the red thugs that playtime is over and the the big boys are in charge, this is not chalerms keystone cops, this is the military who have very quickly established they are in charge, will do whats required and we won,t know unless they deem it neccessry after the event.. A whole different and professional way to maintain law and order.. Where is Chalerm by the way?
