Myanmar authorities busted a massive telecom-fraud and online-gambling operation near Mongnawng in Kehsi Township, grabbing 26 Chinese citizens and eight locals. Security forces stumbled onto the whole thing while doing routine patrols and found a bunch of sketchy buildings set up for scamming people. They torched temporary shelters, seized a ton of equipment like generators and computers, and confiscated weapons that the suspects had stashed nearby.
The government's been working with neighboring countries to crack down on this stuff, and they pulled off raids over a few days that uncovered multiple sites. Investigators recovered assault rifles, pistols, ammo, and other gear the criminals were using. The arrested foreigners are getting sent back home with some humanitarian consideration, while Myanmar citizens face legal proceedings under local law.
