But no drugs?

 

And no arrests?

 

 

Hi, we're the police, we're taking your house, car and money.

 

Why?

 

Because you're a drug dealer.

 

No I'm not.

 

Well, we're not arresting you yet, we're just taking all your possessions for now.

As usual the article is incomplete.

 

If you read the same article in the Bangkok post, it is explained that the drugs leader was arrested in November last year

The face masks are hiding huge grins of pleasure and anticipation of the divvy up of the cash!

The gloves cover skin bleeding from the friction of rubbing hands over the sight of so many luxury cars.....
