Thai Police Captain Investigated After Cannabis Found in China-Bound Luggage

Thai authorities are reviewing the conduct of a female police captain who was detained in China after cannabis was found hidden in cans of job’s tears in her luggage. The officer had travelled from Suvarnabhumi Airport to China in January and was arrested on arrival after Chinese officials discovered the concealed cannabis. Chinese investigators later concluded she had likely been deceived by a drug trafficking network after accepting parcels through a shopping courier arrangement. She was released and returned to Thailand in March, but Thai police said they have not yet made their own final determination. Police General Hospital, where the captain is attached, has formed a disciplinary committee, while investigators continue looking for the source of the cannabis and others connected to the alleged operation.
