On Wednesday, Police Colonel Nopadon, the Chief of Pattaya Police held a press conference at Pattaya Police Station to announce further class 1 drugs seizures and arrests. Two cases were presented to the gathered media.

The first case resulted in the arrest of a Cambodian National, Mr. Thep aged 25 as the result of information given to Police which claimed that the man was a drugs courier and was preparing to sell a large quantity of class 1 drugs to local dealers. The foreign national arrived at the Banjark Petrol Station in North Pattaya and was driving a purple Bangkok Taxi-meter as specified by the Police Informant. Police moved in and detained the suspect who was found to be hiding 1,740 Yabba Tablets inside his shoes. During questioning at the Police Station, Mr. Thep claimed he was paid 40,000 Baht to transport the drugs to Pattaya by a Thai man known only as “Jo” who had purchased the drugs from an agent in Laos. Further investigations are taking place as Police hunt for “Jo”

The second case involved the arrest of Khun Chawarit aged 40. He was caught with 2 Yabba Tablets and a gun at the North Pattaya Bus Terminal following a tip-off. He explained to Police that he had been taking Yabba for more than 10 years and the gun belonged to his younger brother. He was charged with possession of class 1 drugs and an unregistered firearm and will appear in court later this week.
