Suspicious object in front of the ICON Group office is not a bomb

After Bang Khen Police Station received a report of a suspicious object in front of the guardhouse on Soi Ram Intra 9, Ram Intra Road, Anusawari Subdistrict, Bang Khen District, Bangkok, which is the location of The Icon Group Company Limited, officers rushed to inspect the scene and found a black plastic handbag with a suspicious object inside: 3 brown paper sticks wrapped in electrical wires, packed in the box. Later, officers placed two tires over the suspicious object and cordoned off the area to prevent unrelated individuals from entering. They coordinated with the investigation officers at Bang Khen Police Station and EOD officers to collect the object for further examination. The latest, Pol. Col. Anan Worasart, Superintendent of Bang Khen Police Station, revealed to the media after the EOD officers had inspected and recovered the suspicious object, saying that the project's security officers informed the police that they had found a suspicious object that looked like a bomb, so they coordinated wit h the EOD officers to come and inspect and use X-ray equipment to check for the possibility of it being a bomb or not. The X-ray results revealed that inside the black bag were 5 PVC pipes wrapped in paper. There was no gunpowder or explosive chemicals. The clock and circuit board found could not be assembled to detonate the bomb. Therefore, it is believed that they are not explosives. Therefore, the objects were collected as evidence and taken to Bang Khen Police Station for detailed examination. In addition, CCTV footage will be reviewed to find the suspects and their motives. As for whether this was a situation linked to the current The Icon Group case, it cannot be answered yet. However, such behavior is considered creating a situation to cause fear in others and is an offense under the law. The project's security officer, who placed the suspicious object in front of the project, revealed to the media that in the past, boxes of this nature were found in the project regularly. They were used to store too ls. Last week, the maid found the box and placed it in front of the project's bathroom. Today, she went to find tools to repair her shoes, so she opened the box and found something that looked like a bomb. She placed the box in front of the project for the safety of the project's residents and contacted the police to come and inspect it. As for the reason, I myself cannot answer whether it was a threat or a situation created. The police must investigate. I do not know if there are any suspicious persons because it is normal for strangers to come in and out of the project. This is because many companies in this project always have people coming in and out, including company employees, company customers, and delivery people. Source: Thai News Agency
