Phuket –
Police in Phuket have arrested a 14-year-old boy as part of a crackdown on illegal weapons.

Authorities explained that the operation reflects ongoing efforts to reduce the circulation of illegal weapons and strengthen public safety in Phuket. Details of his charges have not yet been released.
Local officials reiterated their commitment to enforcing firearm laws and preventing weapons-related violence, particularly among youth. The case has been forwarded for legal proceedings.
