76kg heroin seized in Nong Khai

 

 

A combined government force seized 76 kilogrammes of heroin with a street value of about 100 million baht following a brief shooting in Sang Khom district of Nong Khai province early on Friday (Dec 1), Provincial Police Region 4 deputy commissioner Pol Maj Gen Chalong Pakpinyo said.

 

Pol Maj Gen Chalong said a team of provincial and narcotic suppression police and soldiers from Surasak Montree Force were deployed on the bank of the Mekong River near Ban Huay Luang Son in Tambon Ban Muang of Nong Khai’s Sang Khon district on receiving a tip-off from informants that a quantity of drug would be smuggled across the river to this spot.

 

At about 3am, ten men were seen arriving on a boat and went ashore, each carrying a bag.  When the authorities showed up and told them to stop for a search, some of them opened fire briefly at them while fleeing.  The men then abandoned their bags and disappeared into a nearby forest.

Brave, slightly overweight girl.

Takes me back to the 70's when heroin was everywhere in Thailand. I've written a book about it.

Yeah, interesting that, eh?

76 might seem a bunch, but not nearly next to the 250

(or so) that crossed an hour (or so) later ...

Unfortunately it is for export these days. Bring it back get rid of the ya ba and meth. Thailand was mellower in the heroin daze.

It is sad that all the bad guys managed to get away, it would be nice to hear that

the police had learned to shoot more deadlier, and we could read that 10 drug

people had died of their injuries, and a bunch of drugs were intercepted as well.

Oh to dream.

Geezer
