Thai police score big: Massive drug bust nets millions in meth and firepower

[webfact]

 

Thai police seized a staggering haul of illegal narcotics, in a drug bust, including three million methamphetamine pills, 11 kilogrammes of crystal meth, 7 kilogrammes of heroin, and a slew of military-grade weapons.

 

The drug bust occurred in the Thanyaburi district of Pathum Thani province, following an eight-day stakeout operation. Despite the suspect evading capture, the operation has dealt a significant blow to a major eastern drug trafficking network.

 

The police operation, involving both the Regional 2 Investigation Division and the Suppression 1 and 2 Police, targeted a large-scale drug trafficking outfit operating in the eastern region. The raid took place in the Thanyaburi district of Pathum Thani province, within the Thanya Phruek (Klong Eight) village.

 

The illicit stash was discovered hidden in the lower levels and under the stairs of house number 109/940, located in Moo 3, Lam Phak Kut subdistrict.

 

In addition to the vast quantities of narcotics, the police also discovered three million methamphetamine pills, 11 kilograms of crystal meth, 7 kilogrammes of heroin, 5 kilogrammes of ketamine, an unspecified amount of ecstasy, two AK rifles, two handguns, two shotguns, two carbine rifles, and one short firearm along with ammunition.

How is it the suspect seems to always get away, but saying that, I don't fancy his chances out there after losing a very large sum of money due the naughty folk......????

Yeah, but think of it this way. This gives an opportunity for the real mafia to sell the drugs. ???? 

[Dont confuse me]

Seriously what we're the chances of keeping a stash like that 'quiet' in a village?

The police find guns and drugs but never the culprits.

I'd be curious to know more about this 8 day stakeout they had going down. That's pretty lengthy by their standards.

Sadly this another drop in the bucket. The war on drugs is like Sisyphus with the boulder...
