Police admit they made a blunder in obtaining an arrest warrant on burglary charges for a 79-year-old man who has trouble walking.

Nu Klangched, 79, accompanied by his son and a lawyer, met with the chief investigator of Hat Yai police, in Songkhla province, after being served with an arrest warrant issued by a court at the request of police.

He was charged with breaking and entering, and burglary. He strongly denied all charges.
