Hundreds of weapons, including rocket-propelled grenades and launchers, missing from several Border Patrol Police units may have been sold by insiders.
We believe some officials are involved in corruption,” Sakda Techakriangkrai, deputy commissioner of Provincial Police Region 4, said Tuesday.
After the 245th Border Patrol Police Company lodged a complaint about missing weapons with Muang Nong Khai Police Station on Tuesday, Border Patrol Police launched a probe against officers in charge of issuing weapons.
“We will wait to hear the results,” Sakda said. The investigation should provide some crucial clues within a week, he said.
“At this point, we have been told that hundreds of guns and RPG launchers have disappeared,” he said.
A source said hundreds of government RPG launchers and guns had lately gone into the black market.
