A security sweep at Phuket International Airport led to the arrest of a taxi driver after officers discovered knives and meth pills in his vehicle. This incident, which occurred yesterday, November 4th, highlights the vigilance of airport security and law enforcement in preventing illegal activities.

 

During a routine checkpoint from 10 am to midday, the Sakhu Police, working alongside the airport security team, stopped a sedan with Songkhla plates. The search of the vehicle uncovered two methamphetamine pills, two spur knives, and a golf club.

 

The driver, known to the police only as Wirach, was taken into custody and transported to Sakhu Police Station for further processing. This operation underscores the importance of security measures and diligent monitoring efforts at busy transport hubs like airports.

 

The cooperation between airport security and the police is vital in maintaining a safe environment, deterring the transport of illegal substances or weapons, and ensuring legal compliance within the airport’s vicinity. This incident serves as a reminder of the continuous work needed to uphold safety standards at key points of entry and exit.
