A Cambodian woman suspected of being part of a notorious drug syndicate called First Klong Luang was arrested in Nong Suea, Pathum Thani, Thailand. The police seized an unexpected 2.8 million pills of amphetamine from the woman's residence.

 

The woman, Saraitus On, 30, was revealed to be a major part of a drug trafficking operation, alongside her Thai husband known as Virayuth or First. Their job was to transport large quantities of amphetamines from the northern parts of Thailand to central areas. Virayuth, however, was able to escape capture by hiding in a nearby canal, abandoning his wife who was arrested.

 

The authorities found an additional stash of 2.5 million amphetamine tablets in a nearby car, plus a 9-millimeter pistol.

 

Law enforcement agencies have been tracking Klong Luang since December last year. They initially suspected a man, Sarayuth, believed to be running the operation remotely. Their investigation led them to a house in Nong Khae, Saraburi, rented by Virayuth and Saraitus. This was where the couple stored the drugs before moving them to Nong Suea for sale.

 

However, the couple seemed to have received a tip-off and moved their illegal stash to Nong Suea, where Saraitus was ultimately arrested. Virayuth remains at large.

As per reports from Pattaya News, the authorities seized a total of 5.3 million amphetamine pills, with 2.3 million more already distributed.

 

The Deputy Minister of the Interior, Chada Thaiseth, who had urged a tough clampdown on drug dealers, led this successful operation against drug trafficking. This was part of an effort to eliminate illegal drugs from Thai society.
