Thai police arrest 11 in scam-linked weapons cache probe

[Coss]

Thai authorities have arrested 11 more suspects in a widening investigation of a Chinese man charged in May with possessing military-grade weapons and links to cyberscam networks, police said on May 21.

Sun Mingchen was arrested around two weeks ago after police discovered a massive arsenal – including assault rifles, explosives and grenades – at his home in the beach resort city of Pattaya.

Police initially investigated whether the cache was linked to terrorism but later ruled that out, saying the weapons were tied to scam operations based in neighbouring Cambodia. LINK
