Irish International Drug Dealer

A Press conference was made about the capture of a Thai woman who possessed a large amount of drugs at her home,

which she stated was done together with her Irish national husband. They delivered E drugs to agents in Thailand and exported marijuana overseas.

On 2nd April at 3.00 pm a Press conference on this case was made at Banglamung Police Station where Governor of Chonburi, Mr. Pracha Terat together with Banglamung Police Chief, Pol. Col. Noppadon Sornsumran, made the announcement of the arrest.

Besides tourists, Pattaya also lures bad people that enter to use Thailand for criminal activities such as drug dealing, exporting women for prostitution. There are also Thai people involved in these activities.

The Thai police have been cooperating with all divisions involved to try to suppress these crimes and arrest the criminals for punishment before any more of Thailand’s reputation is tarnished.

On 1st April, the Crime Suppression Department of Banglamung Police Station were able to trace down and capture Miss Sonnoi Pholjaroen, aged 22, from Buriram province, together with the evidence of

400 White E Drug tablets, 25 E Drugs in a small plastic bag, 4 kg of marijuana sticks, 1,750 grams of marijuana stuffed in seven cans, a sum of drug packing equipment, a mobile phone, and a Honda Wave motorbike.

Before arresting Miss Sonnoi, the police were able to capture Miss Amornrat Srakaew together with evidence of 30 E Drug tablets. Miss Amornrat’s statement led the police to capture her dealer Miss Sonnoi that she bought the drugs from. Therefore, the police organized a sting to buy drugs from Miss Sonnoi. After negotiating a deal, the delivery was made in front of Chokchai Garden Home, Soi Khao Noi.

Miss Sonnoi was captured when she made the delivery of 25 E Drug tablets. After questioning her; she confessed there were more drugs she had hidden at her home located in Chokchai Garden Home, House No. 22/283, where she lived together with her husband Mr. Paul Bernard Mcateer, from Northern Ireland, a British national.

At the house, the police were surprised to find so many drugs together with packing equipment where Sonnoi confessed that she together with her Irish husband dealt drugs together. They had a very lucrative business on the go. They would deliver the E drugs to agents around Thailand and export marijuana overseas by stuffing them in cans and mailing them through FEDEX to their customers.

Unfortunately, Mcateer was fast enough to escape arrest that the police planned, he did not return to the house and is now on the loose. At the moment all divisions involved are cooperating – including the Immigration Department and the British Embassy in tracing down this man so that he will be brought to justice.

Why are ownership of mobile phones and motorcycles a criminal offence ??

This is on the BBC website too. if I were computer savvy I would try to post a link. Not much more than the story here though so it's not worth me sweating to do it.

Why did the report keep using the term 'E drugs' or E drug tablets. surely everyone knows that they are e's and it is a small letter
