Police use ‘call-centre tactic’ to lure drug suspect

By The Nation

 

A Crime Suppression Division police officer borrowed a tactic from call-centre scammers on Monday when he pretended to be a bank official to lure a drug suspect to be arrested in Nakhon Pathom.

The CSD officer phoned the suspect, Preeda Lakham, 26, and told him that he had been approved for a state welfare card, and he needed to pick it up at a bank inside a shopping mall in Nakhon Pathom’s Nakhon Chairi district.

 

Once Preeda turned up at the bank, hiding CSD officers arrested him.

 

Pol Colonel Phumin Pumphanmuang, commander of CSD Sub-division 5, said Preeda, a resident of Si Sa Ket, was suspected of selling methamphetamine pills to young people in Si Sa Ket’s Khun Han district.

 

He fled when they tried to arrest him and went to live in Nakhon Pathom. Police did not know his address, so they made the phone call to lure him into their trap.

     Another statistic in the War On Drugs . 

   There are many , many more ready to fill the breach . 

 

     Kofi Annan and the UN have already announced the War On Drugs is lost .

 

      So lets do battle some more ?  Another son / daughter, brother / sister , spouse locked up for wasted years and not contributing to the community . 

  Just a few more stings and the drugs will magically disappear and we will all live happily ever after ? 

 

    More busts = higher profit margin . Means more incentive + more profit if you can get away with it .

Do you consider selling drugs to children to be a contribution to the community?

[Hi kwai fun]

    No I don`t like he sold drugs to kids . He needs an attitude readjustment . 

 

    The kids need an education at school and at home that if you take Ya bah it will be all good for a week or two and then life will be hell . Then they probably would reject the yah bah . 

  

     Like I said . There`s plenty more ready to take over his job . 

   Has busting people stopped kids accessing drugs ? 

 

Millions of Yah Bah tablets are consumed every day in Thailand by people you interact with in shops and businesses , taxi drivers and manual laborers etc . 

 

 Are they all disrupting the fabric of society ?
