It has not been a great week for a Yaba suspect in Kamphaengphet in northern Thailand, despite his best efforts.

 

On Thursday he fled a police checkpoint in a Revo pick-up but smashed it into a trailer and ended up arrested after crashing off the road.

 

500,000 Yaba were found in the wreckage.

 

Yesterday police were taking the suspect to Kamphaengphet Hospital for a Covid test.

He managed to escape by shimmying down a drainpipe from the third floor of Building 7.

 

Six hours later - and now even more badly injured from the escape - he was found hiding about 2 kilometers away.

 

Around 100 police using air surveillance were mobilized in the search. 

 

Now it was confirmed that the suspect - not named in the Thai Rath article - has Covid.

One can but hope that the keystones responsible for him lose a few months wages

Circling in executive jets and peering through the windows until dinner is served.....,????

...ever stopped to think that these folk aren't functioning normally, and in times of great stress in their lives do desperate things.

No.

All this because with YaBa all that matters is getting the next fix.

And Covid being the least of his problems. Like some dog poo on the shoe.

I'll bet they were all in the same plane designed for 6 passengers too.
