Panic hit a Sattahip neighborhood where someone left an old antitank
weapon in front of a wealthy businessman’s home.
Police and Royal Thai Navy ordinance specialists were called Aug. 7 to
Soi Thummawittaya where the meter-long “high-heat explosive anti-tank”
shoulder-fired weapon was found in the middle of the street.
Police said it was uncertain the gun and its placement in front of the
businessman’s home are connected, but they are investigating. What’s
certain, Superintendent Col. Chonapat Naowalak believes, is that whoever
did it intended to cause the panic that ensued.
