National police announced the results of four major drugs' busts yesterday.

 

Leading the way was the arrest on a warrant of a major dealer known by the nickname of "Ek Uan" or Jirat Pensophonwit in Ayuthaya.

 

A total of 38,464,552 baht worth of gold bullion, jewelry, cash and watches was found in his two safes. Six other associates were later arrested in the Bangkok area and deputy police chief Chalernkiat Sriworakhan said that the total assets seized amounted to almost 200 million baht.

 

Two of the other cases involved Nigerian's and cocaine.

 

Thai woman Nusara Chamkrom, 26, and Francis Okenwa from Nigeria aged 32, were arrested after 1.8 kilos of cocaine was seized at Suvarnabhumi airport on Friday. The drugs had come from Dubai.

 

In South Pattaya police arrested Kenneth Chiboge Prince also from Nigeria. A suspect package sent via private courier from Peru had been opened by police and found to contain 950 grams of cocaine. This led to the arrest of the recipient named on the package.

 

While in Rayong eight Thais were arrested with almost 200 kilos of ganja and 187 Ya Ba tablets on Saturday.

The use of the word SMILES is probably the understatement of the year !

So many thoughts going through their heads ! 

Why do I suspect the thoughts running through the cops heads involves new cars and very healthy looking bank balances? The chances of none of that going astray is zero.

It was probably double that when they originally grabbed it...  555

called by the UN, 'organized crime', now we know why thai police exist

Remember the 100+ police applicants caught paying 400,000b each to cheat on the entrance exam in one province alone one year?

 

Time to get that return on investment. 

 

all smiles eh!

wonder how much went missing?

It is standard practice that 10% of any criminal funds collected must go into the xmas party box ....

 

holy cow   !   that's alot of cash    !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Smiling because they are thinking of the new merc and home extentions

Thats 1 million for you, 1 million for me, 1 million for Somchai.

Hang on a bit better leave some on the table make it look like we are doing a good job.

Sadly, it will go to those who need it least.  Professional policemen would not beam quite so much.  Those smiles suggest the money will find its way to unworthy pockets. 

I assume that amount is the "net" take, not "gross". Finders fees, processing and paperwork, catering... it adds up in a hurry

Where's the party???

Because it was 70 million before the "official count."

why is it that you people who are guests in this country are always putting the thai police down, i personally in my 10 years in thailand have found the police honest and always helpful, if you can not have something good to say , and hate it so much here get back to your own magnificent countries that you escaped from

Well for your information, i have put flesh on my claims.

A fact which a few members on here can verify, so stop getting your knickers in a twist about something you know nothing about.

Honest and trustworthy, just like the lawyers, taxi drivers and jetski renters.

I've been here a similar amount of time, and love the place, warts and all.

 

The legal mafia are some of the warts. I've lost a brother in law to them. You need to remember these are the boys who, when one of their own was killed and dragged under a car for hundreds of metres, first thought about how much money they could make out of the situation.

 

You say you love Thailand, but you are yet to acknowledge one of its biggest problems.

the loot will be spend on infastructure 555

What he said was way more "constuctive" than your comment.

I'd love to hear how you justify that remark.

Well probably in the case of the taxis and jet skis, they are controlled by the police?
