Police have arrested a suspect in the Bangkok shrine bombing, according to Thai media reports.

The man was apprehended in the Thai capital with bomb-making material.

Police said they found more than 10 passports in the apartment where he was arrested - at least one of them Turkish.

The 28-year-old man is Turkish.

A bomb tore through tourists and Thais at the Erawan shrine in central Bangkok on 17 August, killing 20 people and injuring more than 120 others.

A second bomb exploded at a river canal in the city the next day.
