Authorities from the districts of Sriracha and Bang Lamung joined forces in an anti-narcotics operation, arresting a drug distributor and seizing a quantity of methamphetamine and ketamine.

 

The operation was led by Mr. Patcharapach Sritanyanon, District Chief of Bang Lamung, and Mr. Weekit Manarotkit, District Chief of Sriracha. It was part of the Ministry of Interior’s “No Drugs ~ No Dealers” policy, mandated by Acting Prime Minister Phumtham Wechayachai.

 

The crackdown began with the arrest of a drug user in Bang Lamung. Following an investigation, officials arranged a sting operation involving the purchase of 30 methamphetamine pills for 1,100 baht, to be delivered near the New Bridge at Laem Chabang Port in Moo 8, Bang Lamung subdistrict.

 

At the scheduled time, a 34-year-old man identified as Mr. A arrived on a motorcycle with a 35-year-old female companion, Ms. B, to deliver the drugs. Officers moved in and arrested the pair, seizing three bags of methamphetamine, 10 pills per bag, on the spot.

 

During questioning, Mr. A revealed he had sourced the drugs from a man named Mr. C 29, residing in Sriracha district. Officials from both districts coordinated a second sting operation, arranging to buy 200 methamphetamine pills. The handover was set outside a convenience store near Wat Bo Hin in Moo 9, Surasak subdistrict.

 

Mr. C arrived at the designated location with the drugs and was immediately apprehended. A subsequent search of his residence at house number 322/383, Moo 8, Surasak, uncovered additional narcotics. Officers found 66.76 grams of crystal ketamine in zip-lock bags, numerous empty plastic zip bags and a digital scale, indicating drug distribution activity.

 

Authorities confirmed that efforts to dismantle drug networks in the region will continue aggressively to ensure public safety and order.

 

All suspects are in custody and face multiple charges under narcotics laws.
