South Korean drug suspect caught with heroin syringes

A South Korean man, previously deported from Thailand, was caught sneaking back into the country and living in Pattaya for weeks, with heroin syringes found scattered in his apartment. The shocking arrest raised eyebrows, with questions swirling about his alleged involvement in drug trafficking.

 

The suspect, 42 year old South Korean national Hun Chon, was deported from Thailand in 2017 for overstaying his visa and using methamphetamine. However, this career criminal wasn’t done yet. Police Lieutenant Colonel Weerachai Thinkamut revealed today, September 20, that Hun had illegally re-entered Thailand, slipping in from Cambodia without an immigration stamp.

 

For the past two weeks, Hun had been living quietly in an apartment in central Pattaya, Bang Lamung district, until Chon Buri Immigration Police raided his room last night. Heroin syringes stashed in plastic bags were discovered. Surprisingly, Hun’s urine test came back negative. He was quick to shift the blame, claiming that the drug paraphernalia belonged to a Thai woman who had visited two days earlier.

 

 

 

 

But this isn’t the only charge hanging over the South Korean’s head. Chon Buri investigators suspect Hun of being a key player in a drug trafficking operation, smuggling drugs from Thailand to South Korea. A recently arrested suspect even pointed Hun out as the supplier behind a drug-smuggling ring.

 

Police arrested Hun for illegal entry and are now coordinating with South Korean authorities to delve deeper into his alleged drug activities. As more evidence unfolds, this could be just the tip of the iceberg in a major international drug scandal, reported KhaoSod English.

I don't get it, if this guy is a drug smuggler, why did he need to sneak back into & live in Thailand?

He could have operated with less scrutiny out of Cambodia.

Was it the Pad Thai he missed?

Phad Thai, Somtam and mango with sticky rice to finish it off.

The addiction is strong.

Well strictly speaking, I suspect they are just syringes....

I am guessing he sneaked back to recover his network.

If he was living quietly, why did Pattaya police suddenly decide to raid his apartment?

Is a "heroin syringe" different from an ordinary one?

Yes, they are labeled “Warning: For Heroin Use Only!”

If he was a rocket scientist, maube he would have thought differently.

People involved with drugs, usually are not scientists. At least the ones selling them.

I find most to be very rude and impolite in disposition. Most have that constipated face all day long.

As I stated before, the S. Korean men are catching up with the Nigerians regarding criminal activities in LOS.
