I agree lets get all these scum thrown in prison - there is one on the run from Pattaya at the moment

Banglamung Police Bust Big Foreign Drug Operation

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

She stated that together with her Irish national husband, they delivered large quantities of 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.

The word in the street has it that there might be an international gang behind this big operation. The Banglamung Police must be commended for good work in taking out the "Merchants of Death".
