Man arrested for making false bomb alert to 191 police
A man was arrested Thursday for allegedly calling 191 police to deceive that a bomb had been planted inside the Tha Phra police station.
Prapassorn Pornsurin, 30, was arrested at his house in Bangkok's Chomthong district at noon on Thursday.
Police said Prapassorn called the 191 emergency police on Wednesday to alert that a bomb had been planted in the police station.
Police checked and found no bomb. When police checked the phone record of the 191 police division, they found that the call was made by a mobile phone number, which was registered under Prapassorn's name.
After his arrest, Prapassorn admitted that he made the call out of dissatisfaction that the coup makers had ousted prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra, whom he liked, and that the interim government had stopped populist policies of Thaksin.
