Drug Dealers Aressted with 370,000 Amphetamine Pills

UPDATE : 13 December 2011

Bang Khae police officers and the Narcotics Control Bureau have arrested drug dealers from one of the largest drug networks, and seized around 300,000 amphetamine pills.

Deputy Prime Minister Chalerm Yoobamrung held a press conference after Bang Khae police officers and the Narcotics Control Bureau successfully arrested three suspects on drug trafficking.

The suspects possessed 370,050 amphetamine pills and 57.5 kilograms of ice pills worth more than 200 million baht.


Police officers also confiscated illegal guns, two pick-up trucks, and other 28 items.

The Narcotics Control Bureau revealed that one of the suspects, Krissada Kraihom, delivered drugs to local drug agents in Bang Khae and the surrounding districts.

All three suspects were arrested at the Lotus Department store at Bang Khae branch on December 11.

After that, officers searched for additional drugs in their room in Bang Khae and Bang Bon districts.

At the first interrogation, the three suspects claimed they received the drugs by an inmate named Wong, and that they would receive 20,000 baht for each successful drug delivery.

Officers charged them with possession of type-one narcotics with intent to sell.

Chalerm said the case may involved with the recent drug smuggling case which distributed from Chiang rai Province, adding that the three suspects have been selling drugs for a long time due to their numbers of drugs.

He added that Royal Thai Police officers will work closely with the Narcotics Control Bureau to crackdown narcotics rings seriously in the north and northeastern provinces after the New Year festival.
