Thailand's Khlong San district law enforcement woke to a particularly pressing task yesterday, when they apprehended six people posing as delivery riders. The individual's arrest is suspected to be the tip of an iceberg indicating a deeper drug racket.

 

This landmark seizure took place in the Wat Thong Phleng community of the Khlong Ton Sai subdistrict. The Metropolitan Police Bureau (MPB), in cooperation with Bangkok’s Narcotics Control Office and the Royal Thai Police’s Welfare of Women and Children Subdivision (WWCS), led the operation that saw an alarming amount of drugs confiscated. These quantities comprised 6.95 kilograms of crystal methamphetamine, 100,000 methamphetamine pills, 78.3 grams of heroin, and 22.38 kilograms of ketamine.

 

Further, in a vivid illustration of the perils of criminal life, a 9mm firearm, ammunition, and motorcycles were also discovered at the crime scene. All these described as "indispensable tools of their dark trade" by the Deputy Commissioner Thinnakorn Rangmat.

 

The arrested crew had meticulously created a façade of being mobile delivery service riders, transporting the contrabands on their two-wheelers cunningly concealed amidst innocuous parcels. A couple of unnumbered motorcycles further aroused police suspicion, leading to the ground-breaking discovery and arrests.

 

Having cracked under police investigation, all perpetrators confessed their roles, revealing they'd been trafficking drugs for at least five months. They evidently received dope from fellow dealers fortnightly or sometimes even three times monthly. They allegedly pocketed a whopping 80,000 baht for each scandalous delivery.

 

Deputy Commissioner Thinnakorn, underlining the discovery's significance, fervently reminded the citizens, "Your alertness can help us defeat these narcotics scourges from our peaceful communities faster." A clear call for community partnership in curbing such menaces was emphasised by Thai authorities.

So they had no numberplate on the motorbikes? They should have known that is not a good idea/

They forgot about the golden rule of doing anything illegal:  If you get away with it once, be absolutely sure that you will get nabbed the next time.  Get out, before you get caught, don't play the game until you get caught!

Again the BIB have moved too quickly, had they waited for a delivery some higher fruit may have been nabbed
