A motorbike driver stopped at a police checkpoint was
arrested after police discovered a homemade bomb hidden under his seat.
Sutee Soonthonpakdee, 24, was charged with illegal
possession of explosives after the so-called “ping pong” grenade was
discovered in his Honda Wave June 2 at a checkpoint in front of Pattaya
Police Station.
Police said the Surin native had tried to weave through
traffic to avoid the stop, but failed. Searching the bike, officers found
the 15-centimeter device wrapped in tape with a fuse attached. Sutee told
police he had it “only for fun.”
