About 40 armed men in military-type uniform early Friday morning raided an outpost of village defence volunteers in Pattani’s Kapo district and stole five assault rifles, reports said.

The outpost in front of Ban Bango school in Moo 1 of tambon Karubi was surrounded by the militants about 5.30am, according to the reports.

They made off with four AK47s and one M16, along with five bullet-proof vests, a communication radio and a number of mobile phones belonging to the defence volunteers.
