rooster59 Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Six Myanmar illegal migrants arrested with large number of grenades TAK:-- Soldiers, police and local authorities yesterday arrested six Myanmar migrants and seized a large number of grenades during a search at a house near Mae Sod district border in Tak province. The raid was the result of a tip-off that a home in Mae Ku sub-district located along the Thai – Myanmar border in Tak province was a hideout of illegal migrant workers and they were suspected to engage in illegal activities. As authorities moved in, all the people inside ran out and escaped in all directions. But they were all apprehended, one is a woman. An initial inspection of the house showed nothing out of the ordinary but a search bellow the house just alongside a cow pen revealed that a large pit had been dug and covered with soil.

halloween Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 " were attempting to sell the weapons to militant ethnic minority groups located across the border from Thailand. " Apparently the ethnic minority groups located within Thailand aren't buying at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eliotness Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 So they had the grenades to sell to groups in Burma. OK, but does that mean they obtained them in Thailand. Not just a few grenades, this was a serious amount so I would suggest this is not just a one-off and the army needs to carry out an investigation of their stores as someone could have become unusually wealthy.

Grubster Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 I guess they can't say Muslim terrorists here either huh. I don't think the grenades were going out, they were coming in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
