Rirkchapol Poolsilp, 53, a Yala resident, was arrested after an M26 grenade, four homemade pingpong bombs, two pipe bombs and 20 giant firecrackers were found in the room at Muang Thong Thani Condominium. Police were searching for more suspects as they found other people's belongings in the room, Srivara added. Police were alerted when the owner rented the room to a new tenant who sent a maid to clean the room and found the bombs. Police from the Pakkret police station and bomb disposal officers went to the scene about 8.30pm and found the explosives in the room rented by Rirkchapol. The bomb disposal officers took about three hours to dispose of the bombs.
