Police Colonel Surapon of Police Region 2 Command held a press conference to announce the results of a drugs suppression operation that resulted in a major seizure of drugs, firearms and ammunition.
Police had information that a house in Moo 5 of Tambon Bang Phai, Chonburi was being used to store drugs for distribution that were part of a major drugs network based out of Chonburi Prison. A Khun Wattana aged 32 and his brother Khun Komon were the individuals targeted and subject of a Court order issued by Chonbuir Court for a serch of two premises in Bang Phai and Nongkangkok Districts.
The subsequent raids turned up trumps. 32,000 Yaa Baa (Methamphetamine Tablets) 13.12 gm of Yaa Ice, one 38mm handgun and one 9mm handgun along with 100 rounds of ammunition were found and seized as evidence.
Under questioning the suspects gave further details of the operations. The drugs were stored in the house and phone calls would come from drug kingpins in Chonburi prison. They would then arrange for the drugs to be delivered to smaller drug dealers for distribution to customers in the Chonburi area. Thei cut around 20,000 Baht per delivery.
It is probable that they won't be needing cellphones to talk to their drug bosses in Chonburi Jail anymore. They can simply chat over a bowl of rice soup at breakfast.
