BBC reported on April 30 regarding developments in a stabbing incident where a 45-year-old British national of Somali origin stabbed two Jewish men with a knife in the Golders Green area in North London on the afternoon of Wednesday, April 29, local time. London police subsequently declared the incident a terrorist attack. The two victims, identified as Shalom Rand, 34, and Moses Chain, 76, are stable and recovering in hospital. The suspect was subdued with a Taser by police before arrest and charged with attempted murder. It was also revealed that the suspect has a history of violence and serious mental health problems. British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer stated that the antisemitic attack, part of a recent string of such incidents in the UK, was utterly appalling.

This inspection and donation visit aimed to boost morale and encouragement for the special needs children and their families, while demonstrating the station's continued commitment to caring for and improving the quality of life and welfare of its personnel and their families.

Narcotics police coordinated with highway patrol to track down a drug trafficking convoy from northern Thailand, ultimately intercepting the operation in Phetchabun and seizing 8 million methamphetamine pills, with five suspects arrested and four vehicles impounded.

On April 30, 2025, Lieutenant Colonel Chetsadsuphakorn Pireeaphongphan of the Highway Patrol Division disclosed that Phetchabun highway officers received intelligence from narcotics investigators tracking a drug smuggling group in Om Khoi District, Chiang Mai, who were delivering shipments to networks in the central region. The group was identified as operating four pickup trucks transporting narcotics from Lampang through Phitsanulok into Phetchabun.

On April 28 at 9:00 AM, officers spotted a white Toyota Revo pickup with Chiang Mai registration on Highway 21 in Si Thep District, Phetchabun, heading toward Lopburi. When officers requested an inspection, the driver accelerated and fled, leading to a high-speed chase that ended when the truck hit a tree. The driver, 25-year-old Kamlaphop from Om Khoi District, Chiang Mai, was apprehended. A search revealed 16 sacks containing 4 million methamphetamine pills hidden in the truck bed and interior.

Police subsequently intercepted three additional vehicles, arresting four more suspects: Thongchai, 45, from Hod District; Biso, 43; Baipha, 41; and Chatchapissith, 19—all from Om Khoi District, Chiang Mai. On April 29, investigators recovered an additional 16 sacks containing 4 million pills hidden in a sugarcane field in Wichianburi District, Phetchabun. Authorities continue expanding the investigation to dismantle the entire network.
