KANCHANABURI: On Saturday, a Myanmar girl was detained in the northern province’s Sangkhla Buri district on suspicion of possessing 24 magazines containing M16 ammunition as well as 920 empty cartridges.
After being informed by company employees that a brownish package containing items thought to be bullets had been discovered at the office, police hurried to Moo 2 community in tambon Nong Lu, Sangkhla Buri area. The team claimed to have seen the materials when they peered through a hole into the package.
Peerapol Pannaree at home No. 241 at Moo 2, tambon Nong Lu, was the recipient of the package. A receiver by the name of Porntip( no last name ) sent it from tambon Nong Sak in the Ban Bung area of Chon Buri province.
Officers discovered 18 boxes inside the package, each containing 50 rounds of ammunition and one container holding 20 sessions. What they initially believed to be bullets, however, were actually 920 clear M16 weapons cartridges. Along with four journals containing 30 shells of M16 weapons each, 20 magazines with 20 rounds each were also discovered in the package.
The authorities ordered company employees to deliver the package to the house while they watched from a distance in order to catch the device. A female emerged to pick up the package around 7 o’clock. She was taken into custody and interrogated at the police place.
The girl identified herself as Porntip, a 13-year-old illegal immigrant from Myanmar of Mon ethnic origins.
She claimed that the package was not hers and that she had just seen it left in front of the house when she went outside to appear.
The person may become detained for additional questioning, according to the police. She was immediately accused of possessing weapons without authorization and entering and remaining in the country illegally.
