Hong Kong Man Arrested in Bangkok with 700 Million Baht Worth of Crystal Meth

The Pattaya News -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- BANGKOK: Thai police arrested a 26-year-old Hong Kong man and seized about 350 kilogrammes of crystal methamphetamine, or “ice,” with an estimated export value of 700 million baht at a house in the Min Buri district on Monday night, authorities announced Tuesday. Officers from the Crime Suppression Division, led by Police Major General Phatthanasak Bupphasuwan, raided the house and discovered the large quantity of drugs. The arrested man is believed to have been in possession of the drugs to receive them in Thailand and then transfer them elsewhere. Police believe that this drug is likely part of an international drug trafficking network and are expanding their investigation into the man's accomplices and background. Thailand is a major transit point for narcotics from neighboring countries, and authorities are continuing to strengthen international cooperation to eradicate drugs. This seizure can be seen as a demonstration of the strictness of drug countermeasures in Thailand and the firm stance against international criminal organizations. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- The Pattaya News - Real.
