Siam Rath reported on the arrest of a couple in a condo room in the Huay Khwang area of downtown Bangkok.

 

Singaporean Yong Jian Sern, 32, was taken into custody on a charge of using a false passport in Sa Kaeo province. 

 

His girlfriend Ananlak, 28, was also taken into custody.

 

Found in the condo were a variety of drugs and a weighing machine.

 

There was 1.5 grams of crystal meth in white flake form, two bags of ketamine weighing 1.4 grams and 0.8 grams of Erimin Five (a street name for Japan produced drug Nimetazepam that is a class 2 restricted narcotic in Thailand). 

 

 

They are being charged with dealing drugs by the Suthisan police after the raid by the Economic Crime Division police yesterday.

 

The Singaporean is also wanted in his homeland for a multi-victim online hacking fraud.

 

The suspect escaped from Singapore and later was out after being charged with having a false passport in Thailand before he was taken back into custody again.

"...There was 1.5 grams of crystal meth in white flake form, two bags of ketamine weighing 1.4 grams and 0.8 grams of Erimin Five..." wow, big time dealer: 3.7 grams of product to push. Is that about the weight of a postcard? That is 0.130514 ounces. The weight of two condoms (without packaging). I was trying to figure what to compare that weight to
