MAGWAY DIVISION – A junta policeman from Thagyitaung oil field police station in Kamma Township, Pakokku District is said to have entered the legal fold with weapons and reportedly plan to serve under Myaing Township People’s Defence Force (PDF).
Policeman Toe Pyae Chan Thar brought along a G3 gun with a cartridge and 105 bullets as well as a sub machine gun with a round cartridge and 503 bullets and entered the legal fold at around 2 p.m. on April 4 and an official from Myaing PDF said he was awarded 15 million Kyats.
The policeman was arranged to be sent to a liberated area but refused and asked to fight the junta council, according to the official.
“He said he will fight the junta council together with us so we are training him in explosives,” said the official.
That policeman has established contact with Comrade Student from Kamma Oxygen Team and Comrade Boe Daw from Myaing PDF when the two joined Thagyitaung police station undercover and entered the legal fold now.
The two undercover PDF soldiers had run away from Thagyitaung police station with three BA63 (G3) guns and a BA94 (Uzi) gun.
