Suspect, 22, caught with 10m ‘yaba’ pills

By The Nation

 

 

A 22-year-old man was arrested with 10.3 million “yaba” pills in Samut Prakan’s Bang Phli district, national police chief General Chakthip Chaijinda told a press conference on Tuesday.

 

Pongsakorn Phraworn was arrested earlier on Tuesday and the drugs seized at his home in Tambon Bang Kaew. 

 

The arrest happened after the Metropolitan Police Area 8 determined that Pongsakorn was a major drug dealer who allegedly had been storing the narcotics for later distribution.

But still.. 10,3 million (10.300.000!!) pills.. Thats way more than you can count to in a lifetime.. That is worth something to get off the streets yeah? That is a huge catch even around here..

But it only takes one to tell the story which is great news, let the others get on with finding the next 10 million. That photo shoot took a whole day, so look at the man hours lost in fighting crime.

I think we agree on the basics here.. That it should be taken off the streets.. (Even though that is an impossible task, as things are).. But with the amount of coppers in this country, I really dont think this handful of them makes a difference, if they use a day for this or not..

Impressive haul. But I would still be more impressed if they, just once, would catch any one of the bosses in Thailand (i know, they caught one recently, but of course he was Laos).

"who allegedly had been storing the narcotics for later distribution."

I think that should read, been storing them for someone else.

Yes one would think very very few 22 yr olds are in that position alone with that quantity, oddly, lol, you rarely hear of others being sought or caught..

That amount cuts down on crime

With  huge drugs bust, you can expect the top Police to be there .

The Police in the photo are probably the top Police who stay in the Police station, organizing the crime fighters on the street

    The photo only probably took a few minutes anyway, but rest assured, there will be other crime fighters on the street, looking for the next bust

       10 million pills off the street . 

      Several billion more stored in Thailand waiting to be moved to supply demand .  Until Myanmar and Thailand negotiate with the Shan State to shut down the labs , the pills will continue to flow . 

 

    It takes a lot of money to supply a rebel insurgency . 

 

         

  

A little hard to say,  it was just for my personal use !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

His life is over for this one.

I've worked and saved all my life.  I probably couldn't afford to buy 10.3 million dried beans, let alone Yaba pills.  The kid was just warehousing them.  All the rice warehouses are full.

Always assuming that it is " off the streets".

I don't see any pills there like in usual seizures.

 

Did anyone check inside to see it wasn't an Italian pizza shop smuggling caputo 00 flour?

Do you not think the photo is to show they are doing their work. Major drug busts world wide are always presented to the media. 10 mil pills is indeed a major bust.  

Yes praise them as you wish, but we all know they will be back on the street in some form or another. How do you expect Police General Blah Blah to pay for his Merc and mia noi 

thats a lot of jail time.

how is it even possible to find a negative in this story?

My oh my!!... what a lot of bags !!...what a lot of people on the picture !!....so the standard RTP media procedure is one bag = 1 BiB ?

 

p.s. well done boys, that's a lot of poison out of the streets.

Yes. Good parental guidance shows the results.

Far smarter to tax it and make money off it than to waste billions of baht yearly on government resources.

"Samut Prakan’s Bang Phli district"

 

Bangkok.  Just south of the airport. 

 

Where the "sophisticated" people need to live.

 

God, what a dump full of boring, high ego people. ?

 

 

Sweet jesus that is a huge pile of mind rotting poison. I wonder which high-ranking powerful figure is grossed out his mule got caught?

My no name, pics and personal info of the perp? 

OK, so which one in that picture is the suspect?
