(Post Today photo)A court has approved a police request for arrest warrants for five people for their alleged links with the discovery of an arms cache in Chachoengsao on Nov 24, deputy national police chief Srivara Ransibrahmanakul said yesterday. Following the court's approval, one of the suspects, former 3rd Army deputy chief Lt Gen Manas Paorik, 68, accompanied by his lawyer, Thursday afternoon turned himself in to Pol Gen Srivara. The deputy national police chief said investigators would not object to his bail application. Pol Gen Srivara refused to say whether the weapons discovery was a political ploy by the government allowing it to postpone lifting its ban on political parties' activities. The house also served as an office space for Thai Max Group Co owned by Mr Wuthipong, Pol Gen Srivara said Thursday.
