Police arrested a British drug dealer in Phuket after observing him behaving suspiciously while meeting traffic officers on a road.

 

Traffic officers from Kamala Police Station stopped the British man, whose identity remains undisclosed, in the Kamala area of Phuket yesterday, January 8.

 

The officers reported that they were conducting routine patrols when they noticed the man, who appeared nervous and was behaving suspiciously upon seeing them. Police conducted a search of both the man and his motorcycle, discovering ketamine in his possession.

 

 

Photos shared on the police’s official Facebook page show the drugs packed into six separate plastic zip-lock bags, seemingly prepared for sale.

 

The quantity of ketamine led officers to conclude that the suspect was not merely a user but a dealer involved in distributing the drug. It is unclear whether the police carried out a drug test on the British suspect.

 

Following the arrest, the man was charged under Section 146 of the Narcotics Control Act for producing, importing, exporting, distributing, or possessing Category 2 narcotics. This offence carries a penalty of up to 15 years’ imprisonment and a fine ranging from 200,000 to 1.5 million baht.

Silly fool - carrying drugs in Thailand is ridiculously stupid.
