But after an inspection of the scene in the morning, it was found
that several glass windows on the third floor of the building which is
close to a factory were broken and many small metal pellets were
scattered on the floor.
They then alerted Bang Pong Pang police who later requested the Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) police to inspect.
EOD police said they suspected the grenades were fired from a flyover in front of the bank’s computer and training center.
But the grenades missed and landed on the roof of the nearby factory instead.
It was not immediately known the motive of the attack
ground but there has been earlier accusation that the bank gave support
to anti-government protest.
