Police have arrested four residents of southern border provinces for allegedly trying to smuggle 10.4 kilograms of heroin from Chiang Rai to Narathiwat and then to Malaysia.

 

The four suspects were arrested at a road checkpoint in Chumphon’s Pathiu district at 7am on Friday. The arrest was announced by Provincial Police Bureau 8 commissioner Pol Lt-General Surasak Yenprem on Saturday.

 

The four suspects were identified as Ibrorhem Ahwer, 40, Nuratassanim Useng, 23, Nurulhuda Wamae, 18, all from Narathiwat, and a 16-year-old boy from Pattani.

 

Surasak said the heroin was in 26 plastic bags and was hidden a secret chamber built under the back seat.

 

He said Ibrorhem admitted that he took the drug from Chiang Rai’s Mae Sai district with a plan to deliver it to a recipient across the Nararthiwat border in Malaysia.

 

Surasak said the group had smuggled heroin twice and had made Bt5 million and Bt10 million.

Allegedly??? They are standing behind the proof, right?

they were being paid alright compared to other recent drug trafficking stories. anyway, now they are well and truly screwed

So, what's that in Thailand? In Laos it's the death sentence. My neighbour's 2 sons - 18 and 16yrs - got busted 1.5 years ago with less than a gram of yaba. They each got 10 years! In Laos, that's gotta suck, man. Clearly it would be terrible anywhere, but Laos prisons don't even feed ya from what I understand.

Drug runners caught!, Well this is a good news story, hope they rot in the nice

Thai prison until they emerg skinnier, and bunged out.
