A couple from Bangkok has been arrested today for alleged drug trafficking. Police discovered a large amount of drugs and items of value from the duo's property.

 

Supakit, 35, and Sasithorn, 28, were apprehended in the Bang Phlat district. Prior to their arrest, the couple's homes and storage spaces in Soi Somdet Phra Pinklao 2, Bangkok, were investigated. The search revealed around 420 grams of the drug ketamine, four phones, two cars, and two motorcycles. Police also found 50,000 baht in cash, gold weighing 5 baht, and a Hermes bracelet.

 

The investigation into their activities began on June 27 when the police targeted a local drug network. Supakit and Sasithorn were found to be key players in providing drugs to teenagers in the Wat Dao Dueng community and other nearby areas. The constant surveillance of their actions gave the police sufficient proof to initiate a search and arrest operation.

 

 

During the bust, the police observed Supakit parking his motorcycle on a road in Soi Khrua Khon 4. Supakit had 0.6 grams of ketamine in his jacket pocket, which he admitted was his. Consequently, the police obtained a warrant to inspect Supakit’s house located at Soi Trok San Chao, Bang Yi Khan. Here, they found Sasithorn along with about 20 grams of ketamine.

 

Further investigation then led the police to a car parked in a storage site at Soi Somdet Phra Pinklao 2. Inside the vehicle, police found 400 grams more of ketamine. A quick history check revealed that Sasithorn had previously faced charges with the possession and intention to circulate amphetamines, a Schedule 1 drug, in Chon Buri province which was reported by KhaoSod.

 

The couple has been subsequently detained and charged with the illegal distribution of ketamine, which is a Schedule 2 regulated drug. This case underlines the ongoing dedication of the police to disrupt drug networks and put a stop to unauthorized drug trafficking within communities.

interesting.

there was a time you could actually buy ketamine and cocaine suspensions like the bottle pictured in pharmacies (one at least) in Phnom Penh. The cocaine was usually sold out. 

Never been my drug of choice, but i recall the ket was about 5 bucks a bottle.

Big upswing in both transshipment and local use of Ketamine.

Crystal meth (Ya Ice) is also exploding on the scene.
