Khon kaen: Crime Suppression Division police arrested "Ae Khon Kaen" for illegally selling firearms online while he was parked at his residence. They also seized a large quantity of evidence.
According to Thai News Agency, Crime Suppression Division police arrested 51-year-old Kittisak, also known as "Eh Khon Kaen," on a warrant for "jointly possessing or selling firearms or ammunition without a license from the registrar." The arrest took place at his residence in Village No. 4, Sila Subdistrict, Mueang Khon Kaen District. Authorities initially seized 16 items, including parcel delivery equipment, ammunition, bank accounts, mobile phones, and several firearms.
The arrest follows the Crime Suppression Division's earlier arrest of an illegal ammunition trafficker via an online platform. He alleged that the illegal ammunition he was selling was ordered from Mr. Kittisak. Authorities expanded their investigation, uncovering clear evidence, including the financial trail of the transfer of ammunition funds from the original suspect to Mr. Kittisak's account, as well as shipping documents via a private shipping company.
Investigators have found that within a single month, Mr. Kittisak has shipped more than 60 packages of ammunition to customers nationwide. Mr. Kittisak confessed to selling illegal ammunition online for over four years, purchasing it from gun shops for resale.
