3 Bomb Scares around BKK; Suspect Arrested

Three explosive devices have been found, one in a pile of garbage in front of a Bangkok Bank branch in Sukhumvit Soi 77 or Onnuj, another at Ladkrabang Soi 13 and one more around the Motorway. The bomb squad has successfully defused the explosives. The bombs were said to be rigged to a remote control detonator.

Police have arrested a 40-year-old man while planting the bomb at around 3 AM this morning. He's believed to be linked to the bomb scare at the Government Lottery Office on Ratchadamnoen Avenue last week.

Both Deputy PM Chalerm Yoobamroong and National Police chief Police General Priewpan Damapong inspected the crime scenes.
