The arrests followed a joint operation by several police units late on the night of 27 June and into 28 June at a PTT petrol station in Sa Kaeo district. Officers from Sa Kaeo Immigration Police, Sa Kaeo Provincial Police, the Provincial Investigation Division and Region 2 Investigation Division worked together to detain the suspects and recover the drugs.
The suspects were identified as 24-year-old Pakistani national Badti Muhammad Aslan, 19-year-old Pakistani national Aali Liswan, and 45-year-old Indian national Pakgran Wit Sing. Police said they seized 101,675 pills of Category 1 narcotics in various colours, including light green, dark green, grey, orange and pink.
According to investigators, the pills had been divided into five separate batches. These comprised 21,335 light green tablets, 25,107 orange and green tablets, 20,385 orange, green and grey tablets, 20,600 light and dark green tablets, and 14,248 pink, orange and light green tablets. Police said the tablets were marked with the letters “VL” on one side and the “Louis Vuitton” logo on the other.
Police said the three men were found at the petrol station carrying suitcases while attempting to hire transport to Bangkok. Immigration officers became suspicious after checking their documents, which were reported to be invalid, and said one of the suspects attempted to flee before being detained.
Kaoded reported that the suspects were taken to Muang Sa Kaeo Police Station, where a search uncovered the large quantity of ecstasy tablets. Authorities completed arrest procedures before transferring the case to investigators at Muang Sa Kaeo Police Station for legal proceedings.
