In this case, authorities seized a substantial cache of weapons, ammunition and grenades, almost all of it military grade. Better known as Kotee, Mr Wuthipong had his 15 minutes of fame in early 2014. The weapons cache, he said at first, was to be brought out and used against authorities trying to search Wat Phra Dhammakaya. Pol Gen Chakthip claimed this was clear, because the weapons cache included a rifle equipped with a telescopic sight. The seized weapons represent a threat to national security.
