Second Brit is arrested over drugs as part of Thai crackdown on foreigners after newlywed father was detained for allegedly dealing cocaine





A second British man has been arrested in Thailand over drug offences as police crack down on foreigners.
Peter Hull, 44, was taken in by police on March 1 after neighbours raised concerns about his strange behaviour that they say went on through all hours of the night at his home in Koh Samui.

It comes just one week after fellow Brit backpacker Andrew Brett was detained in Thailand for reportedly carrying cocaine and LSD.


Officers raided Peter's rented home and allegedly discovered cocaine and ecstasy - both Class A drugs which carry the death penalty if caught importing or dealing, and up to 10 years behind bars for posession.
During their search, police allegedly found 30 yellow pills engraved with an owl motif, weighing 4.68 grams, and three bags of cocaine, weighing 6.32 grams

Police Major Pasathorn Saenyindee of Surat Thani Immigration Bureau said Peter had bought all his drugs from another foreigner via a black market website for 35,000 baht (£770).
Peter's tourist visa had also expired on January 8, leading to him being charged with possession of category 1 and category 2 drugs in addition to visa offences.
Saenyindee warned that the Brit could now face a lengthy prison sentence or deportation.
The cop said: 'There is no escape for lawbreakers. Everybody is so very tired of foreigners who abuse our country and its laws.
'There will be no leniency and no more easy ways to negotiate with police. We're making sure the bad guys get out.'
Peter was allegedly seen throwing objects at nearby homes during the early hours of the morning, and was known to ride motorcycles through the streets at night.
After complaints were made about the bizarre disturbances, police identified the residents in the area and began their investigations.
When they arrived at the home, they allegedly found Peter under the influence of drugs, and mumbling to himself.

Police Major Saenyindee added: 'He has been charged with illegal possession of Category I and II narcotics, as well as overstaying for 58 days.
'The suspect has now been transferred to the inquiry officer at Koh Samui Police Station for further legal proceedings.'
As cops continue their sweeping crackdown on foreigners in Thailand, officers in Phuket reportedly revealed they have arrested at least 20 in recent days with ministers warning 'guests in the country' to behave.
Andrew, a 35-year-old newlywed father, was arrested on Februry 29 - just days after getting married following a five month long undercover police operation

He was allegedly found to have been dealing hard drugs to tourists at the Ecco Bar in Surat Thani, southern Thailand, after a concerned patron tipped-off the police.
Officers allegedly found 0.54 grams of ecstasy in a plastic bag, 25 ecstasy pills, and 75 LSD sheets, known locally as 'magic paper', among his belongings.
He reportedly admitted the stash belonged to him and now faces a punishment of up to life imprisonment or the death penalty.
Speaking to MailOnline, his father John, 82, said: 'I just can't believe this has happened.
'He had everything going for him. He seemed to have the perfect life

Am I?. Have I upset you Sympl? Since I logged on today all I've seen is your little petty comments dotted around the forum. Pretty funny that you feel moved to post all over the shop.

Edit

That's not a moan btw

Back on topic.

What a wanka that Brett one is, dealing drugs on death island, how stupid and green can you get. Well, what looks like a wanka, usually is one.

Luckily I get all of my drugs from the natives.

And for his new bride and his kid. This dude has let lots of people down big time.

I am still always amazed on the ignorance of many foreigners that come here to either live or visit and then knowing all the while that getting caught with or using drugs is a HUGE risk. I can't imagine that the Risk vs Reward to get loaded on whatever is worth it. Just find some Ya Dong or Lao Khao and get drunk for FFS.

Anyway this guy will be another of many on one of those documentary shows about "Jailed Abroad". Enjoy your stay!!!

I suppose Cyrille but the risk just isn't worth it here and in most, if not all, SEAsia countries. The penalties are brutal and you have no real course of action to get it changed. I mean if you get caught in say the US, they look at your record, if clean, they fine you and put you on probation and hopefully that's the wake up call. Here... Fuk dat!!. You are living in your own piss and shit crammed with others.

Looks like he could hoover a fair bit of Charlie up that schnozz

Probably just before this photo. He does look the part.

^^he looks like one of the hobbit or dwarfs in Lord of the Rings. Imagine him in hobbity clothes & a pipe.

He also looks slightly like a more unkempt version of Matt Smith(?) from Dr Who & The Crown.

These long noses all look the same to me
