In northeast Thailand, a police inspector was apprehended for his involvement in a major drug trafficking operation. The sting operation, conducted by Region 3 police along Route 24 in the Nong Bunnak district of Nakhon Ratchasima, thwarted the transport of two million methamphetamine pills.

 

The bust unfolded on March 31, when officers noticed suspicious activity from two vehicles near the border adjacent to Mukdahan province. A thorough search of a white sedan, driven by a lone individual, revealed five sacks in the trunk containing the methamphetamine haul.

 

In tandem with the sedan, a grey-black pickup truck was identified as an escort for the drug-laden car. This vehicle housed two occupants, including a police inspector with the rank of Police Lieutenant Colonel from the Nong Bua Lamphu Provincial Police Bureau. The inspector, dressed casually but in possession of police identification, was sitting beside the driver.

 

 

 

Despite his claim of being a first-time offender and attempts to negotiate his release, the inspector's efforts to avoid apprehension were futile. His involvement and the discovery of the drugs were promptly reported to Police Lieutenant General Wathana Yeejeen, Commissioner of Region 3.

 

This arrest marks a significant breakthrough in the ongoing fight against drug trafficking in the region. Region 3 police had been acting on intelligence about a substantial methamphetamine shipment entering Nakhon Ratchasima. Their meticulous planning and execution led to the successful interception and arrest.

 

The inspector now faces legal proceedings, with investigations ongoing to uncover further details and connections within the network. This case underscores the complexity of drug trafficking operations and the substantial efforts law enforcement must undertake to combat such illegal activities, reported The Thaiger.

Jesus can an honest man, a pillar of society not be permitted to renew his prescription without getting persecuted? I personally would be opting out of prescription abuse and seriously take a look at Coffee Shop possibilities in the area - You can never have enough coffee shops or ya ba.

Didn't bring a big enough "empty" envelope?

I wonder if he bought them legitimately or was he just recycling a previous drug bust?
