Thai authorities seized four advanced first-person view (FPV) drones and military-grade components allegedly intended for smuggling into Myanmar, arresting a Myanmar national in the border town of Mae Sot on July 21, according to Thailand’s Central Investigation Bureau (CIB).
Acting on an intelligence tip-off, CIB officers inspected a parcel delivery company in Mae Sot and intercepted two suspicious shipping crates.
The seized shipment included four fully assembled FPV drones, seven drone frames, and 16 types of specialized components, including high-speed motors, cameras, and flight control boards.
The recipient, identified as Ko Min Kyaw, was unable to present documentation proving import duties had been paid.
Thai police have detained Ko Min Kyaw at the Mae Sot Police Station, where he faces legal action under Thai customs law for illegally transporting undeclared goods.
