Police nab alleged Sukhumvit drug pusher

By The Nation

 

 

Police on Wednesday swooped in on an alleged drug pusher who sells narcotics in Sukhumvit Soi 101/1 under the disguise of a tattoo artist.

 

At 9.30pm, police arrested Ekphisit Thanyawongtip, 31, in Phra Khanong district and seized the 30 grammes of crystal meth and loaded pistol he was carrying.

 

Undercover police officers tracked him down after learning of a person called “Benz Manahasigha” who belonged to a syndicate.

 

After keeping watch on his movements for about 20 minutes, police confirmed that Ekphisit’s appearance met the description of “Benz Manahasigha”.

 

He was charged with selling and possessing illegal substances and possessing a weapon without permission.

Crystal meth and a loaded gun ... thanks to the RTP for eliminating this potential danger to society ...

How many more left ...?

Looks like police are getting desperate !  No tourists so no money to be made in the Nana area. Soi 3 is empty. 

The one with the high visibility jacket.

Probably driving part-time for Grab-food.

I assume you aren't familiar with Bangkok. Soi 101 is a very, very long way from Soi 3 (the numbers might give you a clue) and isn't a tourist area. And they are in different police districts.

Keeping watch for 20 minutes how did they stay awake? but in all probability he is one of your Maj-Gens mules ????

Looking at that photo, it's almost like he thought dressing up and getting his hair done like some black California drug dealer would make him anonymous !

Only approved franchise owners .

That little packet he's holding is far less than 30 grams, where's the rest?  And the gun?

 

Prison wallet?
