Three foreigners belonging to a suspected passport forgery ring were charged with multiple offences on Saturday after police found them with drugs, guns and a dismembered body stashed in the freezer of a shophouse in Bangkok.

Police said they were still trying to confirm the nationalities of the English speakers, who were found with multiple passports, but suspect they are American or British.

They are also trying to identify the body of a foreign man found wrapped in plastic in a freezer during the raid in Sukhumvit Soi 56 in Phra Khanong district on Friday. The body had been cut into six pieces.

A Tourist Police officer was also wounded in the operation after a suspect reached inside a safe for a 9mm gun and fired three shots. The officer was not seriously hurt and is recovering in Police General Hospital.

A US Embassy spokesman said he was following the case but could not comment due to privacy concerns.
