A large gang of insurgents held three security guards captive while they set fire to four parked vehicles at a road construction site in Cho-airong district early Wednesday morning.
The attack occurred around 2am in Ban Kue Rong in tambon Chuap, but was not reported to police until 6am.
About 10 men were reportedly involved in the attack on S.O.N Engineering Co Ltd, a contractor hired by Chuap municipality, police said.
They torched four vehicles used in the construction of the road – a grader, a pneumatic vibrator and a vibratory roller, and a water truck.
The gang wore black clothes with their faces covered. They held the three security guards captive and confiscated their phones before burning the company’s property.
They released the guards and fled the scene about 2.30am, the report said. No injuries were reported.
The investigation was continuing, police said.
