Police Detain Sergeant for Gun Trafficking to Chinese National; Immigration Revokes Taiwan Woman's Visa

Police arrested Chinese national Ming Chen Sun, 31, following a vehicle rollover accident in Na Jomtien district, Chachoengsao province. During inspection of the vehicle, officers discovered a firearm with magazine, leading to a search warrant for a residence in Huay Yai Soi where they found military weapons, ten explosive devices of various types, bomb-making materials, and fuel. Chen has been detained for interrogation and transferred to Pattaya Immigration Bureau, where he was found to be in poor physical condition requiring regular medication.

On May 10, 2569, the National Police Office's Explosives Expert Center arrived to conduct detailed forensic analysis of the seized evidence. Authorities are pursuing two additional soldiers involved in the gun sales operation. The investigation timeline reveals that a firearms instructor named Chen contacted Navy Lieutenant Methee regarding available weapons for a Chinese buyer. Methee then contacted Sergeant Hab, who coordinated with Sergeant Boy to supply the firearms. Chamliang, 51, provided a bank account for the transaction. Two more suspects, Sergeant Hab and Sergeant Boy, remain under active pursuit.

Meanwhile, the Taiwan woman who was in the vehicle with Ming Chen was found to have no apparent involvement in the weapons case during initial questioning. However, Pattaya Immigration has already revoked her visa preemptively before she was transferred to Na Jomtien station for detention. Latest reports indicate that Sergeant Boy, the primary gun supplier to the Chinese national, has been brought in for interrogation at Na Jomtien station.
