The teenagers claimed that they were carrying the weapons to assist a friend who had allegedly been kidnapped and assaulted by unknown assailants.

They stated that they brought the guns for self-defense while attempting to help their friend. However, the police were unconvinced by their explanation and took them into custody at Pattaya Police Station’s Dongtan substation.

The teens’ parents were contacted to come and potentially face legal action.
