Saturday 23rd May 2009

Suspected English Drug Dealer on the run following Undercover Police Operation.

In the early hours of Saturday Morning Police and volunteers were caught up in a dramatic car chase which culminated in shots being fired, the arrest of two people and the seizure of class 1 and class 5 drugs. The case began when Police Colonel Tirapong, the acting chief of Pattaya Police led a team of undercover officers who conducted an operation in the car park of the Bar Ruk 93 Pub located just off Pattaya Third Road close to the South Pattaya Intersection. The Colonel had received information of an English National who was suspected of selling drugs here in Pattaya and he arranged to meet the target in the car park where an undercover officer would attempt to purchase drugs from him which would have been followed by an arrest. The operation did not go to plan and the target escaped in his Black Toyota Vigo as soon as he realized that he was being set-up. A dramatic car chase ensued, during which shots were fired and collisions with chasing vehicles took place. Eventually the truck came to a halt close to the Tamsamakee Temple in South Pattaya at a dead-end. The driver, later named as Mr. Troy Curtis aged 56 from England, fled into a nearby forest and could not be located. Two women inside his truck, Khun Wunpen aged 37 and Khun Anong aged 39 were arrested and joined Police who made their way to the residence of Mr. Curtis, house number 56/2 in Soi Nongprue. Inside the house, Police found a selection of narcotics including 2g of Crystal Methamphetamine, 17g of Cocaine, some Marijuana, Syringes and Bank Books. Other items were taken into evidence. Back at Pattaya Police Station the two women claimed that earlier in the night Mr. Curtis contacted the two women and requested they join him at his house. They confessed to taking drugs inside the house and were then told that they would go out to play pool in South Pattaya. Both denied prior knowledge of Mr. Curtis’s alleged illegal activities. An arrest warrant for Mr. Curtis has now been issued and Police have alerted ports and airports to ensure he cannot escape to another country.

You may have seen him driving around Pattaya as he wasn't exactly low-key. His Toyota Vigo was lit up like a Xmas Tree with blue neon lights.

So he didn't have only a bad taste in cars but in business as well. :)

I have know this man since the 90s and he is a decent chap that if you were in trouble and he could help HE would without question.

I can confirm he was back in London in the later part of 2009 so well gone from Thialand.

I wish him all the best.

Take it easy TC and keep lucky!

The irish drug dealer must be spilling the beans,so watch the news as there will be more to come.

One poster was right TC was a loud brash cockney who was selling drugs for years.

ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST

Do you think it will ever dawn on "the powers that be" that some of them are hand in glove with Pattaya's drug dealers, protecting them, profiting from them and tipping them off?
