PHUKET: -- Phuket police making a routine stop at a checkpoint in Thalang early yesterday morning seized 33 grams of heroin after searching a car that was not fitted with any license plates.

Crime Suppression officers led by Inspector Prasarn Thoworn were on duty at a checkpoint in Baan Yamu, Paklok, when a white Kia sedan arrived at 1:30am.

Noticing the car was not fitted with any license plates, officers stopped the vehicle and asked the driver, 35-year-old Wittaya Tiranon, to see the car registration documents.

Believing that Mr Wittaya’s passenger, 42-year-old Polrut Jitnawee, was behaving suspiciously, the officers asked Mr Polrut to step out of the car so they could search him.

On his person, they found 39 red and green ya bah (methamphetamine) pills and 33 grams of heroin hidden in a plastic bottle.

Police also found an air pistol and a walkie-talkie in the car.

The two men were taken to Thalang Police Station for further questioning.

Clearly since the car had no license plates it should have been invisible to the eye

Many police have no plates on their ''private'' vehicles.

Yep - surely the most stupid. Any excuse to be pulled up - what they think they are invisible? Never cease to amaze me how the buffaloes are more intelligent than some humans.

Always find it funny that all drug smugglers believe they will never get caught. Do they really think that police and governments (worldwide) don't know exactly where their... ahemmm... where the drugs are coming from and going to? From time to time a few patsies have to take the fall in the acclaimed "war on drugs" - what actually sounds like one of the shortest jokes in world history. Strip the average citizen of drugs, booze, cigarettes and TV for a few days and you'd have a worldwide revolution going. Sad having to say this, but there will always be at least one guy willing to do the job... always been this way and most likely it always will...

Totally correct. Never seen two buffaloes involved in a head on collision, except at their "cockfights" and when in the back of two pickups driven in opposite directions by a pair of Somchais.

Most of them don't.

Will they NEVER LEARN.

And how dumb they were, no plates and carrying drugs.

And also been advertised the police will check ALL traffic into Phuket.

Wonder where all that confiscated stuff ends up...usually drug runners have a large cash amount with them

Drugs will never go away as long as governments can reap the financial and mind-controlling benefits.

As long as any entity is collared with a crime as prevalent and rampant the drug industry, one cannot label that entity as sovereign or uniquely in control of its affairs.

This is then indicative that the entity is using this crime as a means to an end, and therefore the bullet in the head should be held in reserve for those who are supposed to rid this virus, yet continually fail in their brazen innuendo that they will, as well as their half-hearted attempts to do so.
