A senior policeman at Suthisan police station in Bangkok has been arrested on suspicion of selling Ya Ba through the post.

 

Pol Captain Samphan Kanthason was presented with a warrant by drug enforcement cops while he was on duty at the station in downtown Bangkok yesterday evening.

 

He denies it. He is the head of a rapid task force at the station.

 

Deputy chief of Region 2 Pol Maj Gen Richakorn Jornjewut has ordered his immediate removal from the force.

 

The warrant came after a Thai man and a Burmese woman were caught delivering drugs in April.

 

They named Captain Samphan as the supplier of the drugs.

 

He has admitted knowing the pair in connection with another matter but has denied involvement in drugs.

tragi-comical, which can be said of quite a number of things here

Well why am i not surprised by this?

Because the biggest drug pushers here are the police, confiscate a pile of drugs, show half the haul on camera.

Ohh what good boys we are the other half is back on the streets within hours.

While I wouldn't be surprised if you are right I think it is not a good idea posting this  " ... half is back on the streets within hours." without being able to show proof

Half? 

Why not all? 

After the photo shoot or the suspect pleads guilty it goes to be "destroyed"  

 

I guess the guys who destroy it have nice cars..... ?

The illegalization of drugs breeds police corruption.  This is not just a Thailand thing.

Cats can easily die on drinking a saucer full of warm rich milk. Kittens yes, Cat's no.

100% spot on that's why we never see drugs get destroyed when police make a drug bust 

police is so corrupt 

[ostyan]

He must be a smart policeman. Distributing drugs by post should be a very innovative and professional idea. This guy is loves not because his IQ should anybody love him

That's it then!  Carry-on as normal!

Good to see that Thai police arrested drug pushing police! 

Regardless of the other issues, this is remarkable. 

The two dobbers may need to be extremely careful now.

Another bust for the 'cleaner image' of Thailand.  Let's hope they keep this going.

You're right, it's more like 90% back on the streets.

[taipan1949]

No different than the the Bureau of Customs in the Philippines who get caught importing containers full of SHABU and never go to jail and where did all the drugs go???? Three guesses......
