Video: The sad face of hard drugs in bust of mother in Pattaya

 

Picture: Pattaya News

 

The Pattaya News posted a video of a sting operation that resulted in the arrest of a woman from Prajuab Khiri Khan who was dealing in crystal meth in Pattaya. 

 

The story was particularly heart wrenching as the woman's 11 year old daughter would not stop crying after a raid conducted in Soi VC.

 

Drug enforcement officers and the Bang Lamung local district chief had received information from an informant that Supha Lengyindee, 41, was dealing in Soi VC. 

 

They raided some rented rooms and she was arrested on charges of possession and intent to sell Class 1 drugs (ice and Ya Ba).

 

The money shown in the video was the 6,500 baht cash used in the sting to purchase five grams of ice. 

 

The money is compared to a photocopy made before the raid for evidence purposes. 

 

Supha said that she had lost her job and was dealing to get money to look after her daughter.

 

The child was taken into care and will be likely looked after relatives as her mother will be off to jail.

Probably more than that. Consider the relatives that will have to raise the traumatized child, and no doubt others have been ripped off and lied to by this  sick individual.

Easy money v long bird scenario with the kids as collateral damage what a waste????

Looks like she may well be a user too,very unkempt for a thai lady.

6,500 baht for 5 grams of ice sounds cheap.

The "battle" was lost from the beginning.

Gotta feel sorry for the poor kid. Hope she has good relatives who are willing to take care of her, they may not want another mouth to feed if they're poor.

Marked notes too easy for the cops. But she will get a light sentence she is Thai. On the other hand if it was a farang??

She will not get a "light sentence" and a ferang wouldnt receive a harsher sentence 

I have no sympathy for dealers or user but when I say that I also know she will probably never had do this if Thailand have a law about thai men can't just run away from their responsibility and not take care of their children financially 

sad for the child...

Do they need to be marked when they can simply match the numbers?

The sentences for drugs here are truly harsh for all.

Grinding poverty

Lost job

Father nowhere to be seen

No safety net

And Thailand number one in the inequality stakes.

 

I cannot find it in my heart to feel anything but sympathy for this woman and her daughter.

Wish they dared to catch the big fishes.....

not exactly a 'hardened dealer'.. I can't help but feel a little sorry for this woman. We will probably never experience her hardship, thankfully.

I suspect her 'dealing' wasn't to 'get rich'... just 'get by'

It seems that the price of that ice is cheap !!!
A few years ago 1gr used to cost 2000 thb.
I had a thai neighbour that smoked that crap and he used to tell that 7 years ago in Pattaya.
What a pity ...2 lives broken because drugs again.
I just hope that women could get into a rehab program and not only thrown to jail 5-6-7 years for nothing.

How big can the prisons be to hold all these druggies. Very sad but the war on drugs will never be won

How do you know it's cheap? 

Do you use drugs?? 

 

Seeing this sad seen makes one understand a bit more many of the poor village women that chose to 'work the night' and what they are so desperately trying to avoid at all cost..  really breaks my heart..

No short road to getting street drugs under control when so many high ranking and influential people are funding the trade from supply to sales.. using poorer people to do the distribution while they rake-in the profits sitting in their ivory towers above the law !!

I agree with your post, while I would never condone the selling of drugs I do have some sympathy for this girl and daughter, she's trying to keep a home & feed a family in the only way she know's how to do it.

Yes some might say she's making fast money out of misery and I would agree, but she's only the bottom of a very tall ladder,

I'd arrest and convict her as a warning, but offer a suspended sentence if she named names so they could get the real people behind the misery... hitting the lowest rung isn't going to stop anything, you've got to get to the top tier!!

Thank you Hotchilli, to add something else, a female representative from the police should accompany the 'sting' team, if for nothing else the 11 year old child present.

There is no excuse as the team must have known that the person they were targeting was a young woman, alone with an 11 year old daughter and that their actions would result in great distress.

Pattaya Plod cleaning up the streets of this fair city.  Meanwhile the taxi mafia continue to flourish; all local companies continue to pay protection money to the powers that be.

Why is he running up the stairs with gun drawn like the FBI when there are people already in the room standing with their hands on their hips talking to her ?? Pathetic.

Try catching the big people but that wont happen . Never hear of the big guys getting caught only the lower ones . Try investing in sniffer dogs and proper border guards !

I must be getting soft, but I have to agree.
