The three navy officers arrested this morning also worked on the side as guards for the anti-government protesters, and defence permanent secretary Nipat Thonglek has been asked to investigate and report to the Centre for the Administration of Peace and Order (Capo), caretaker Deputy Prime Minister Surapong Tovichakchaikul claimed on a programme broadcast by the Television Pool of Thailand.
Mr Surpapong, who supervises Capo, was referring to the arrest of three navy officers in possession of weapons and VIP cards issued by Students and People Network for Thailand’s Reform (SPNTR) at a checkpoint on Krung Kasem road.
