The fact you have no idea what it refers to suggests that you haven't watched it. It's not compulsory to watch it of course (although watching it can be helpful when commenting about it) and if you prefer to get your world views from fictional dramas like Adolescence then that is of course up to you.Thu, 04 Jun 2026 09:39:42 +0000https://aseannow.com/thailand-news/police-sergeant-arrested-over-drugs-transportation-in-songkhla-r2162/A police sergeant wanted in connection with a methamphetamine trafficking case has been arrested in Songkhla after nearly three years on the run. Officers from Chumphon Provincial Police and the Office of the Narcotics Control Board (ONCB) tracked down and detained Pol Snr Sgt Sudi, who is accused of directing and assisting a drug transport operation linked to the seizure of 100,000 methamphetamine tablets. Get today's headlines by email The arrest followed an investigation stemming from a police operation on 17 June 2023 at approximately 6.40pm. Officers from Ban Map Ammarit Police Station seized 100,000 methamphetamine tablets at a PT petrol station in Moo 3, Khao Chai Rat subdistrict, Pathio district, Chumphon province. The drugs were allegedly intended for distribution and commercial sale, with authorities stating the offence contributed to the spread of narcotics among the public and affected national security. Investigators from Chumphon Provincial Police later expanded the inquiry and gathered evidence identifying Abbas and Wansulaiman as transporters involved in moving the drugs. Arrest warrants were subsequently issued by the Chumphon Provincial Court for Abbas and Wansulaiman on charges of conspiring with two or more persons to commit a serious narcotics offence and jointly distributing a Category 1 narcotic. Following their arrests, both men allegedly told investigators that Pol Snr Sgt Sudi had directed the operation and participated in the drug transportation. Based on those statements and additional evidence, investigators sought and obtained an arrest warrant for Pol Snr Sgt Sudi from the Chumphon Provincial Court. Senior police commanders, including Deputy National Police Chief Pol Gen Samran Nuanma, ordered action against state officials involved in narcotics offences in line with government policy. On 1 June 2026, Pol Col Denduang Thongsrisuk, Deputy Commander of Chumphon Provincial Police, received intelligence indicating that Pol Snr Sgt Sudi was hiding in Songkhla province. The information was reported to senior officers, who instructed the major narcotics investigation team and ONCB officers to locate and arrest the suspect immediately. Authorities eventually found Pol Snr Sgt Sudi driving a grey Mitsubishi Pajero sport utility vehicle into the Senanarong military camp golf course. Officers approached him, presented the arrest warrant and confirmed his identity. He reportedly acknowledged that he was the person named in the warrant and stated that he had not previously been arrested. Khaosod reported that Pol Snr Sgt Sudi was taken into custody and handed over to investigators at Ban Map Ammarit Police Station for legal proceedings. The case will now continue through the criminal justice process. Picture courtesy of Khaosod Join the discussion? Already a member?

Get today's headlines by email The incident was reported to police in Phe, Rayong, on 3 June 2026 after a 32-year-old female tourist was allegedly targeted while staying at a resort. Officers reviewed CCTV footage and identified the suspect as Nattaphong, known as Lek, a construction worker employed at a nearby building site. Police later arrested the suspect while he was reportedly gambling online on his mobile phone. During questioning, he allegedly confessed that he had seen the victim staying in a room near his work area and acted on impulse. He admitted entering the area behind the room during the night with the intention of sexually assaulting the woman but fled after she woke up and screamed for help. The victim told police she was travelling with a group of 12 friends and relatives. While resting in her room, she heard unusual noises behind the property and saw a man attempting to force his way inside. Her screams alerted others and caused the suspect to run away before authorities were contacted. Picture courtesy of Khaosod The case follows widespread online criticism after a member of the group posted details of the incident on Facebook. The post claimed that 12 people, including children and a pregnant woman, were staying at a four star resort when an outsider allegedly entered a private room and attempted to sexually assault a female guest. The group also claimed resort staff were slow to respond after calls for assistance. The resort later issued a statement online, which was subsequently removed, expressing regret over the incident. It stressed that the suspect was not a resort employee and was not a resident of Samet Island. According to the resort, staff helped identify the suspect, who was detained within approximately 30 minutes of the report being made and presented to guests for identification in the presence of three police officers. The resort said it had not ignored or concealed the matter and remained in contact with those affected. Management explained that staff accommodation was located about 200 metres away, contributing to delays in reaching the room, while police reportedly arrived around 15 minutes after being contacted. Police have charged the suspect with attempted rape, night-time trespassing and illegal online gambling. The investigation remains ongoing. Khaosod reported that authorities are now reviewing security arrangements on the island.

Greater Manchester Police ‘rotten to the core. REATER Manchester Police is rotten to the core and must be dismantled, campaigners charged today after an officer was recorded on video kicking and stamping on a Muslim man’s head at Manchester airport. Mohammed Fahir, 19, has had a CT scan revealing there is “a cyst on his brain” after his condition worsened overnight, his lawyer said. The incident was filmed and shared on social media on Wednesday. After attacking Mr Fahir, surrounded by a group of colleagues, the Taser-wielding officer then turned on his brother, who had his hands behind his head, and kicked him to the ground.Greater Manchester Police (GMP) said that since there were firearms officers present “there was a clear risk during this assault of their firearms being taken from them.”They said officers were called to Terminal Two following reports of a fight and that three officers were attacked. Four arrests were made.The men’s lawyer Akhmed Yakoob said the family are traumatised.He said they are brothers of a GMP officer who is now afraid to go into work, fearing for his own safety. After the incident, around 200 people protested outside Rochdale police station chanting: “GMP shame on you!”Former Met Police chief superintendent Dal Babu told BBC Radio 4 that he believes racism “played a significant part” in the incident. The police watchdog confirmed that an investigation is under way. The officer seen inflicting the violence has been suspended from all duties. After reviewing the full footage, Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham claimed it was “not a clear-cut situation” and that a serious incident had escalated quickly.Stand Up to Racism Greater Manchester said there was “no possible justification” for the attack, and organised a rally outside Mr Burnham’s office this evening. In 2021, a report commissioned by Mr Burnham concluded that GMP was “institutionally racist,” a finding which was rejected by GMP Chief Constable Stephen Watson, who still heads the force. GMP had also been put under special measures after it failed to record a fifth of all reported crimes, and was only lifted out of it two years ago.Ameen Hadi, from Manchester Stand Up to Racism, said: “This is the latest in a long catalogue of misogynistic, racist and homophobic behaviour. “Chief Constable Watson must be held accountable by GM Mayor Andy Burnham and sacked.“GMP is rotten to the core and must be dismantled.”Kevin Blowe, campaigns co-ordinator of Netpol, said that the incident “could easily have proven fatal.”He said: “Having been involved in police monitoring for over three decades, what also stood out for me was the unlawful efforts by officers to stop others from documenting what they saw and later the police spin seeking to somehow justify it.“All too often this is what racialised communities in Manchester and beyond are forced to endure: not just a profoundly racist police force, but also the gaslighting and denial of the daily reality of oppressive policing.”Habib Kadiri, director of Stop Watch, said the vidThu, 04 Jun 2026 09:27:15 +0000Thu, 04 Jun 2026 09:27:12 +0000A quick search of Farage's past throws up countless evidence of his racism.Thu, 04 Jun 2026 09:26:49 +0000i just renew my US passport will arrive soon, i need to transfer my marriage extension to the new passport, can i send somebody to immigration to do it or i have to do it myself?Thu, 04 Jun 2026 09:24:10 +0000Here’s the topic of discussion: “Starmer Accuses Farage of Exploiting Nowak Murder”Thu, 04 Jun 2026 09:24:05 +0000A long one I would hope.Thu, 04 Jun 2026 09:23:14 +0000oh the irony from the champion of a culture based on victimhood comedy goldThu, 04 Jun 2026 09:21:16 +0000This isn’t the pub forum. And it’s not my job to try and cheer you up.Thu, 04 Jun 2026 09:21:09 +0000For some time now Ive been finding it harder to both fall asleep and stay asleep , Ive done every thing I can think of relating to my sleeping arrangements , like no looking at my Android tablet in bed, no distracting bedroom lights , air conditioner keeping the bedroom cool , no eating too late before going to sleep, no alcohol before bed time Etc. So now I’m wanting to try taking cannabis gummies to see if doing that may improve my current poor sleep situation . Ive googled that subject and generally the information provided leads to some type of unhelpful advertising . I’m hoping others here who have any personal experience of using cannabis , can offer some advice , suggestions or recommendations . I have never smoked so gummies seem the best way forward.
