The search team was led by Krabi Governor Angkura Siladhewakul and accompanied by ML Bhuthong Thongyai, deputy director-general of the Department of Business Development. At the scene, Mr Moshe (surname withheld), the Israeli national identified as the business owner, was stopped as he attempted to leave the premises.
