Thai police have awarded a 3m baht (€75,000) reward to themselves for making an arrest in the Bangkok bomb investigation.

Thailand’s police chief said the investigation into last week’s bomb blast has been hampered by broken security cameras in central Bangkok along the main suspect’s getaway route.

Police in Thailand have issued an arrest warrant for an “unidentified foreign man” seen leaving a bag minutes before a deadly bombing at a Bangkok shrine.

Blast near popular shrine intended to weaken tourism and economy as man on CCTV not yet identified.
