Police in the Mueang Chai Nat district have apprehended more than 20 teenagers during a raid on a drug-fuelled birthday party held at a local resort. The operation, which took place on 7th May, exposed a variety of illegal substances, including ecstasy, ketamine, the so-called 'love drug,' and methamphetamine.

 

Officials, collaborating from the police and Mueang Chai Nat district investigators along with the district administration, had been surveilling this particular group for a period, as they were known for convening at various parties, consistently managing to avoid law enforcement. The raid was spurred on by a tip-off regarding the group’s plan to celebrate a woman named Jan’s birthday.

 

Upon entering the resort, authorities discovered the teenagers inebriated and surrounded by loud music and a room filled with thick smoke, which required immediate ventilation. The scene presented ample evidence of extensive drug use, with discarded liquor bottles, beer cans, and numerous packets of drugs strewn around the premises. Some packets had been used, while others were concealed in plant pots nearby.

 

Subsequent urine tests conducted on the party-goers revealed that more than half were under the influence of drugs. All involved individuals have been taken into custody for further legal proceedings.

 

The police are now focusing on expanding their investigation to identify and capture additional individuals linked to the supply and sale of the narcotics found at the party. This operation underscores the ongoing challenges faced by law enforcement in tackling substance abuse and unlawful drug distribution among youth in the region.
