On Saturday afternoon, while the Pattaya Police led by the Deputy Superintendent In charge of Suppressions Pol. Lt. Col. Kiatisak Sa-tong-oy were setting a checkpoint on Pattaya Beach Road, right in front of the Pattaya Police Station, a man, identified later as Mr. Sutee Sun-torn-pak-dee, aged 25 from Surin province, was spotted driving a red Honda Wave 110 past the checkpoint with a suspicious demeanor. The police stopped him for searching, and an object looking like a homemade bomb, a little smaller than a coconut, was found hidden underneath the seat. Mr. Sutee declared no knowledge of this object.

He referred to his friend Mr. Ex, who had borrowed his motorcycle for a night. He claimed that this object to belonged to Mr. Ex, but the police apprehended Mr. Sutee anyway, for further investigation, as this object would be very dangerous if it went off.
