Three former police officers netted in major drugs and arms bust

Staff reporters

Three former police officers were arrested on drug and arms smuggling charges in Chiang Mai on Monday, November 9 Pol. Lt. Gen. Wut Liptapanlop, Commissioner of Narcotics Suppression Bureau Region 5 Police reported.

Former Police Senior Sgt. Maj. Sriyont Kankeng was found with 40,000 yabah tablets stuffed into computer parts in a car by the combined task forces of the Narcotics Suppression Bureau Police, the Provincial Region 5 Police, the Highway Police and members of the Army Area Region 3. The former policeman had planned on delivering the drugs to Bangkok when he was arrested at the Chiang Mai Transport Station.

His arrest led police to the capture of a further 6 members of the gang, including 2 former policemen, and the confiscation of a large cache of weapons and ammunition. Police found 3 M16 rifles with 3,000 rounds of ammunition, one 11 mm hand gun, 48 pieces of TNT weighing 1½ lbs., 54 pieces of PETN (used to make priming cords for explosives) and 27 rounds of ammunition for an M79 grenade launcher. The gang traded arms for drugs with gangs from neighboring countries and then sold the drugs on in Thailand.
