They were the first to shake the capital since the military seized power to end months of sometimes deadly street protests.

Defence Minister Prawit Wongsuwan said such violence "inflicts loss of confidence" in the country.

"We came, we normalized sales, we summoned the owners, we arrested them and they're prisoners for having provoked the people," he said to cheers, adding that the state would take over the food stores.
