Guns Seized, Six Arrested
Thai Police are investigating the criminal backgrounds of six drug suspects arrested for carrying war weapons and illegal drugs in the vicinity of the home of Interior Minister Chavarat Charnvirakul.
Bangkok Metropolitan Police chief Worapong Chiewpreecha said the examination would focus on locating the source of the weapons and examining the records of the suspects to see if they had been involved in any serious crimes.
Police believe the six to be members of a criminal network headed by alleged Klong Toey area drug kingpin Sayam Sapworasit, AKA Suparp Sidaeng.
The arrests were made after the car the six men were traveling in was stopped at a police checkpoint on Narathiwat Ratchanakharin Road in Yannawa district early yesterday morning.
Police say a search of the car trunk revealed a box containing two Uzi automatic weapons, two MT rifles, one AK-47 rifle, and 64 rounds of AK-47 ammunition. The weapons were also loaded.
