Chinese couple arrested for posting heroin to Australia - condos/gold worth nearly 10MB seized

[webfact]

 

Thai Rath reported on the arrest of a Chinese couple who police claim posted 4.19 kilos of heroin to Australia. 

 

They seized condos in the Rachada and Sathon areas of Bangkok and Pattaya and other assets totalling nearly 10 million baht. 

 

The couple denied the charge saying they were sending for someone else. 

 

They were named as Jun Dai, 42, and Jia Lee Sia, 28, who were arrested on a warrant for distributing the Class 1 narcotic and conspiracy to send it abroad. 

 

They were arrested outside a chicken rice stall in Sampran, Nakhon Pathom. 

 

Earlier the authorities had intercepted a parcel with the drugs hidden in future board cavities disguised as the top and bottom of a container for bottle openers. 

 

They had sent the package from Big C in Pattaya using someone else's passport as ID. 

 

Authorities obtained a warrant and found out the couple were living in Nakhon Pathom, central Thailand.

 

In total five condos were seized along with one car, cash and gold totalling 9,370,000 in value. 

 

The couple claimed they didn't know the package contained drugs and that they were sending it for someone else.

 

They have been detained.

Good old Chinese cousins now without a wedge well done plod spend it wisely ????

[Gottfrid]

Take all they have, and put them in jail for about 25 years. After, a standing deportation.

[proton]

How do they think they can get this muck through undetected these days with sophisticated x rays, sniffer dogs and testing substances machines? 

[RafPinto]

9,4 Million Baht for 5 condos, gold, cash and a car.
Not doing extremely well I think.

Do you think all these sophisticated x-rays, sniffer dogs etc catch everything?

 

It's very likely they've been succesful for some time or do you think this was their first attempt?

Because it´s just an easy way out. No real punishment. Try 25 year in a Thai prison.

When I lived in Thailand pre Covid-19, I used to show my Thai Driving License when sending mail from my local post office.

ID at departure point has all but ZERO to do with detection down the line. <deleted>! Australian Customs is equal to any in the world for diligence and detection albeit that the worldwide drug trade and other illegal trades are hard at it to trying to bypass such services.

I watch an Oz series.  It's amazing just what lengths the senders will go to.  They come up with new ideas all the time.  But the post office people are upto the mark also.  To start with it's the countries that they watch.

you're referring to the Aussie junkies, right?

[kidneyw]

Good that they arrested the Chinese couple and not the person whose passport they used.

[PETERTHEEATER]

The Aussie Customs personnel must be good to have worked out that shipment:

 

.......drugs hidden in future board cavities disguised as the top and bottom of a container for bottle openers. 

 

Me? I'm baffled.????

Easily commuted to life

[aussienam]

After many years of seeing the fallout from heroin in Australia, all I can say that I hope the pieces of s### rot in hell.  Absolute misery it causes. Drug overdoses, suicides, junkie crimes (common theft, frauds, break and enters, armed robberies, stabbings, murders).  I absolutely hate drug dealers. Low lifes living the high life off the misery of others. Getting people addicted  to fill their pockets with cash to enjoy in Thailand. Selfish evil scum.  Good to see.  I hope Thailand applies a very long sentence and they suffer.  F### off out of Australia a######s.

Do they think the 1000000000000000 cameras around Big C won't see them mailing this package.

 

Everyone getting busted for drugs saying, "I didn't know anything!!!!"

 

1000000000000000000000000000 years, minimum.     Protect the kids.

She was given the death penalty for what? A kilo of ecstasy? Commuted to life, and then halved. What kind of nonsense justice system sentences someone to death for signing for a parcel of drugs that weren't even hers? This couple were sending over 4kg of heroin.

In her case, it seems she had no legal representation. Appeal and declare a mistrial. Gross miscarriage of justice.

Wow! you seem to be very initiated. Is this your personal friend, or do you have close relations? Might even be family, right? Or what do you get all this information from. Do you have substance somewhere? Please provide. Or maybe it´s just all mixed up in your delusional mind?

I suggest reading the news mate. I'm not going to waste my time pointing you in the right direction. It's all been reported in the national press, and here on various forums. And don't make inaccurate and potentially libelous casual enquiries about my links to these cases. I don't have any. But I do have a lot of empathy. Same for a wounded animal, or one caught in a trap. I'm not delusional. And you should know, the word "substance" can have several meanings. If you're suggesting I am taking some form of "substance", the same applies as above.

 

I recognise, I think, your attempts at humour. Schadenfreude? Is other people's misfortune all just a huge joke to you?
