Popular Post snoop1130 Posted 14 hours ago Popular Post Share Posted 14 hours ago Officers from the Office of the Narcotics Control Board (ONCB) arrested a British man and a Dutch man at a condominium in Bangkok yesterday for drug trafficking. They were found in possession of 210 grammes of ecstasy and over 37 grammes of cannabis. The ONCB officers held a press conference today, November 6, to provide details on the arrests of the British and Dutch men, whose identities were not revealed. The arrests followed the discovery of a suspicious parcel delivered to Thailand from the UK on Monday, November 4. Upon investigating the parcel, officials found 210 grammes of MDMA (commonly known as ecstasy) inside. Officers then monitored the recipients until they observed the two foreign nationals collecting it. The two men resided at a condominium in the Sathu Pradit area of Bangkok, where officials conducted a raid on their condo unit on November 5. While no drugs were found in the condo, the suspects admitted to keeping them at a rented house in the Khlong Toei area and another condo in Phra Kanong. During a search of the rented house, officers seized 30 kilogrammes of cannabis, packed in vacuum-sealed bags ready for delivery. They also found documents indicating the suspects intended to send the cannabis to the UK, falsely labelling it as pillows. Approximately 1.4 kilogrammes of cannabis glandular trichomes were discovered at the property. Cannabis glandular trichomes contain cannabinoids primarily found in cannabis flowers and leaves and are highly valued for their psychoactive and medicinal properties. Further searches at the condominium in Phra Kanong revealed an additional 6 kilogrammes of cannabis, also packed in vacuum-sealed bags. ONCB officials reported that British police have seized large amounts of cannabis smuggled from Thailand this year, prompting closer collaboration between Thai and British officials to prevent such trafficking. These trafficking groups reportedly enter Thailand as tourists and obtain cannabis from local dealers to smuggle back to their home countries. In some cases, they carry the cannabis with them while travelling; in others, they ship it internationally via parcels.

Perhaps they felt guilty about it and decided to give up that information. Stupidity begets stupidity in this case. Perhaps the police found some document that led them to question about the other condo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stupidity begets stupidity in this case. Perhaps the police found some document that led them to question about the other condo? I very much doubt they felt guilty about it. Maybe the police already knew about it. Or your suggestion. Maybe a tip off, or customs had had "dealings" with them before? What a disaster. No wonder they look totally wrecked. They could be facing 10 years. Or maybe it was part of a plea bargain. Cooperate and it will go easier for you? Who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Tongue Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago No sorrow for these saps. Smuggling weed to the UK? They could just operate a grow house in the UK or smuggle in from Holland. Just a slap on the wrist if caught. Instead, these two will be serving time in the LoS until their anuses prolapse. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right. But I had a mate got 10 years for a very small amount of ice. Reduced to 5 as he pleaded guilty. Then halved again by the King. Visited him many times in Klong Prem. Deported and blacklisted on release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stargeezr Posted 37 minutes ago Share Posted 37 minutes ago I have no sympathy for these two idiots. They will learn that Thai prison is not a cushy place to stay, unlike Canada, with TV, interne,, top quality food, etc. I stayed with a thai policeman and he let me know that they do not even get English newspapers to read unless someone brings a few to the prison for the warden, staff and a few for grateful prisoners.

gk10012001 Posted 35 minutes ago Share Posted 35 minutes ago 1 hour ago, bradiston said: But why let on where their stash was? They were caught with next to nothing. Some Thai interrogation techniques or threats of long jail time before even seeing a judge or a court, or the Thais probably had some info and knew they had large amounts somewhere. Telling no doubt was said to reduce their sentence or punishment. So crazy to try drug dealing selling trafficking in an eastern country. Jail time there is not fun. No doubt they think they will be extradited to their home countries and get off easy. A follow up would be interesting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
