Dumped M16 ammunition found

A team of defence volunteers on Wednesday seized 1,147 rounds of M16 ammunition dumped in a hole of rocks on a mountain near a village in Chang Klang district of Nakhon Si Thammarat province.

Ampol Sangthong, leader of the Sriwichai Task Force, said he led a team of territorial defence volunteers to the mountain near Ban Saothong in tambon Chang Klang for a search after obtaining a tip-off from informants.

Found in the hole was a fertiliser bag containing 1,147 rounds of M16 ammunition.

He said the ammunition might have been dumped at that spot after the government launched a crackdown on illegal weapons.
