A 31-year-old man has been arrested in Prachuap Khiri Khan province after police raided his rented home and discovered over 700 methamphetamine pills, drug paraphernalia and multiple vehicles. The arrest followed complaints from concerned neighbours who questioned how the suspect, known only as “Ball,” could afford expensive motorcycles despite appearing unemployed.

 

Acting on a tip-off and a court-issued search warrant, officers from Mueang Prachuap Khiri Khan Police Station and a special operations unit surrounded the three-storey commercial building in Ao Noi subdistrict, near an auto accessories shop.

 

Residents had reported suspicious behaviour, noting that Ball kept to himself, rarely left the house and had reportedly been seen in possession of firearms. Most notably, he regularly rode a white BMW 650cc sport motorcycle worth over 500,000 baht, drawing the suspicion of neighbours due to his lack of visible income.

 

When police arrived, they found a white Isuzu D-Max pickup, a black Honda Scoopy and the BMW motorbike parked in front of the building. Officers entered through a neighbouring property and accessed the second floor, where they found Ball, real name Mr. Apiwat, asleep with the door ajar and one foot visible from the hallway. He was arrested without resistance.

 

A search of the premises revealed no firearms, though an empty 9mm ammunition box was discovered. Officers did, however, find 708 methamphetamine tablets stored in a pink container, along with foil and drug-taking equipment.

 

Ball admitted during questioning that the drugs were his, stating that he used them both for personal consumption and for sale. He claimed the firearm once in his possession had belonged to his father and had since been returned to him.

 

Police charged Ball with possession of a Category 1 narcotic (methamphetamine) with intent to sell, in violation of narcotics laws. The drugs and vehicles were seized as evidence, and the suspect was taken to Mueang Prachuap Khiri Khan Police Station for formal processing and prosecution.

 

Authorities said the case highlights the importance of community vigilance and encouraged residents to report suspicious behaviour to local law enforcement.

Yip, it's the majority way criminals are caught here coz the old bill certainly are not capable.

Think the grassing for reward, was for traffic offences.

But not sure.

I had a yabaa dealer opposite side of the street, two doors down. Daytime it was all quiet, you would swear the house was unoccupied. But between 2 am and 4 am, there was a steady stream of loud motorbikes as his customers come collect. Maybe two or three, sometimes half a dozen or more.

Why would you not report a suspected drug dealer who also has a firearm? Will you have the same opinion if he shifts next door to you?

Well 18 years ago in pattaya over the darkside.

Had just that, no I did not grass him up.

But I did witness the drugs bust one night whilst sipping a large chang on the porch outside.

about 20 police descending on the house over the road.

 

Personal opinion.

All drugs should be legalized,

Get control, get revenue and put the bad guys out of business

Sop wasting time, money and  resources trying to control the impossible.

The war on drugs was lost many years ago.

 

No,  I would not grass them up.

But I'm sure you would.

 

 

Reminds me of that scene in Superman III where the minimum wage worker Richard Pryor steals $$$$$$$ from his employer then busts himself by driving to work in a new Ferrari.
