Ismae, a suspect wanted on four criminal warrants, voluntarily surrendered to authorities following brief negotiations by officers. Authorities warned that providing shelter, concealment, or supplies to fugitives is illegal.

Security forces launched an enforcement operation to apprehend a suspect in the old market area behind Sateng Municipal School 5 in Muang District, Yala Province.

As of May 21, 2025, authorities reported successfully resolving the situation while strictly adhering to legal frameworks and human rights principles. Officers coordinated with community and local leaders to conduct negotiations until the suspect, identified as Ismae (surname withheld), voluntarily surrendered. Ismae had four active criminal warrants issued against him. This approach avoided loss of life and property damage for all parties involved.

The Internal Security Operations Command Region 4 thanked the public for their cooperation and reiterated that providing shelter, concealment, or supplies to offenders violates the law. Anyone spotting suspicious activity or wanted individuals can report tips to the hotline 1341 or local task force units operating 24 hours daily.
