5 Arrested With Firearms in Mandalay Could Face Treason Charges
By MAY SITT PAING / THE IRRAWADDY

RANGOON — Five men found carrying drugs and unlicensed arms late last month may face charges of high treason, according to the Mandalay Division Police Force.

Brothers Aung Kyaw Moe and Aung Zaw Moe, along with Soe Thu Aung, Thet Oo Maung and Min Min, were apprehended along the Singu-Shwebo highway on June 26 with possession of several hunting rifles, walkie-talkies and illicit pills.

Further investigation led to the seizure of more than 40 guns at the brothers’ home the following day, police said.

Aung Zaw Moe’s wife was said to have voluntarily handed over an additional 19 firearms a few days later, including rifles, pistols and revolvers.

Police said the brothers claimed the rifles were used for hunting and belonged to their deceased father, a former police officer.

A Mandalay police officer, who wished to remain anonymous, told The Irrawaddy on Wednesday that the men are currently accused of unlawfully carrying arms and walkie-talkies, but they could face more severe charges.
