Five suspects - Thai navy officers and civilians - accused of involvement in an illegal arms supply network linked to an arrested Chinese national in Pattaya have been charged with the illegal possession and sale of weapons of war.
Three of the suspects were arrested late Saturday. This followed a chain of events beginning with a car crash in Bang Lamung, Chon Buri, that led to the discovery of a huge arsenal at the Pattaya home of the 31-year-old Chinese suspect, Sun Mingchen.
