webfact Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Large 'ice' bust at bus terminal The Nation Six bags containing 73 kilograms of 'ice' or crystal methamphetamine, worth Bt220 million, were found left unattended at the Bangkok Bus Terminal (New Southern Route) on Borom Ratchonnanee Road, police said yesterday. Metropolitan Police chief Pol Lt-General Winai Thongsong told a press conference that, after receiving information a drug gang would transport a large amount of narcotics to the South through the terminal, police spotted the suspicious bags at 7pm Tuesday. They staked out the area until 10.30pm but no one turned up to collect the bags, so they seized them and found the drugs inside. Forensic police had collected fingerprints and DNA evidence from the bags, Winai said, and the initial investigation identified a man and woman as suspects who placed the bags in the terminal. He said that after gathering more evidence, police were confident they would be able to issue arrest warrants soon. -- The Nation 2012-01-05 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moruya Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 In an update to this story, it turned out that these were sandbags and are the property of FROC who purchased them fpr 1,000THB each. Chalerm has announced that he will unveil the culprit after the next full moon and that his initial is P. He further identified the culrprit as suffering from extreme dandruff which explained the white colour of the powder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avidflyer Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 "The bags were spotted at 7 pm and police staked out until 10:30 pm but no one turned up to pick up the bags so the police seized them." I guess the bags were clearly labeled, so these were not your ordinary dealers. There's a movie here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttelise Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Somebody was apparently getting high on their own supply to leave behind that much dope. Sad part is that someone will likely pay dearfully for this screw up. Probably better off getting caught. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the bags were clearly labeled, so these were not your ordinary dealers. There's a movie here. Maybe the police were 'clearly labelled' and the dealers spotted them, or the dealers got tipped off, so the police could 'process' the drugs.

alexth Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 (edited) Doubt bags were forgotten, more like the mule got a whiff of BIB More like a tip or maybe just a bad shipment that they needed to dispose of anyway, so what better way than getting rid of it by helping the hand that keeps business running smoothly? Really...how is it that someone just "forgets" to pick up 73kg of methamphetamine? Needless to say, that for this kind of tips, cops don't send in newbies that can be spotted from a mile away Edited January 5, 2012 by alexth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

webfact Posted January 5, 2012 Author Share Posted January 5, 2012 Bt220-mln Crystal Meth Seized at Bus Terminal Narcotics suppression police have seized crystal methamphetamine worth over 220 million baht at Bangkok's southern bus terminal. The drug is found hidden in six bags ready for transport to the South. About 73 kilograms of crystal methamphetamine, or commonly known as “Ice”, packed in 72 bundles were seized by officers from the Taling Chan Police Station and the Narcotics Suppression Bureau at the New Southern Bus Terminal in Bangkok. The drug was left at the first and sixth platforms of the bus terminal. The seizure came after a tip-off that there would be a large drug smuggling effort from Bangkok to southern provinces during the New Year holidays by using public buses from the southern terminal. Investigations and close minitoring were carried out until last night after the joint local and narcotics suppression police forces found six suspicious and unidentified bags left at the bus terminal. Two suspects, one male and one female, were also caught in the southern bus terminal's security cameras. Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police Bureau, Police Lieutenant General Winai Thongsong revealed that the drug smuggling ring operates in a pattern of 'Ant Army', which applies to a smuggling of drugs in a small amount at a time. The city police chief added that police are speeding up searching for the members of this drug network to bring them to justice. -- Tan Network 2012-01-05 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxyz Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 "Forensic police had collected fingerprints and DNA evidence from the bags" The BiB has this capability? Only at drug scenes apparently, never read about this treatment at murder/suicide crime sites. How big is their fingerprint & DNA database?
