Phuket Police sting operation nets Brit and Nigerian for drugs

[Lammbock]

That guy look like a big baby, literaly

[F4UCorsair]

It is not even possible to roll a spliff with one gram.

Bad luck for the Brit...but by the look of him...he is quiet used to losing...

There's no doubt him looking the complete loser .

I'm amazed that anybody even thinks about drugs in a country that has Thailand's penalties, let alone uses, sells/buys or traffics them, but .......................

[stickylies]

British national Curtis Martin Taylor, 32

oh boy... just look at the guy. he's the archetype of the sleazy sextourist. no sane woman is interested in such a loser / piece of sh**. only thai prostitutes can "do" him....

ps. mind the crucifix crosses on both the nigerian and curtis. the pope approves!

What makes you think he's here for sex?

common sense + knowledge of human nature

pls let me know if u need more... ta

Strange , I dont hear anyone talking about "quality tourist" regarding this case .... unless this term is only given to Russian .... oh but he is a Brit so he must be better than anyone .... well nice picture anyway ... we need more of those "quality tourist" no ?

on the other hand , well done Police ....

Well done? Catching a brit with 1 gram of softdrugs? Laughable.

Meanwhile I can't walk anywhere in Patong without some thai guy asking me if I want cocaïne or heroine...

A Brit with 1 gram of marie jeanne....

"We searched him and found one gram of marijuana in his pocket,” said Col Sutthichai.

“The two exchanged the drugs and the money, which were fake banknotes provided by police.

“Ms Somkid called Mr Onyinyechukwu asking for 2,500 baht worth of cocaine. They arranged to meet and make the exchange at Mr Martin’s place at KK Apartment,” said Col Suttichai.

Mr Onyinyechukwu soon arrived at the apartment with 5.45 grams of cocaine

Ms Waew led police to her friend, named in the arrest report as British national Curtis Martin Taylor, 32, at his apartment on 50 Pi Road.

Fake money, provided by unreal cops, a Nigerian Wannabe scarface and chubby Brit who was the facebook friend of Ms. Somkid

LOC Land Of Confusion.

The story cant be right. 5 grams of marching powder has a street value of 15000 bht and we are to believe she purchased it for 2500. BS!!!!!

She ordered and paid for 2500 baht worth of the drug. The Nigerian had 5.45g on him, not difficult to understand.

Meanwhile, whilst police are pulling finger nails & electrocuting the suspects to follow the trail... 6 condos were broken in to and all posessions stolen in Phuket!

Really, or are you just another Thai police basher making up stories?

[captspectre]

Ian Hislop has really let himself go ....... and what is Snoop Dogg doing there?

Matt Lucas letting his hair down........

looks like one of britains finest, big tits and large belly! just the kind you want to sit next to in economy!

[Smurkster]

I'm quite proud of my country for doing the right thing when it comes to decriminalizing grass....more energy and resources to focus on crimes that really matter...

[newermonkey]

Were the police charged with using fake / counterfeit bank notes ??

Are THEY ( the notes ) not illegal

I have some of those, the big giveaway is the word MONOPOLY printed across the notes!

[Bakeman]

Ridiculous waste of man-power and assets. Why didnt they set the busts up for a larger amounts?

"We searched him and found one gram of marijuana in his pocket, said Col Sutthichai.

Only a face a mother could love, his parents must be so proud

[lostmebike]

Huge, huge bust!

This is obviously far more worth reporting than corruption on the island or the thuggery carried out by those in transport. Well done the Gazette!

@bigjules007

He's not the father of the boy in your avatar is he???

[Para]

He grassed someone up for the sake of 1 of weed? Dog.

[Rumblecat]

[BB1955]

Im just glad these folks were not playing with any rockets ... because they sure as hell are not good at what they do !!!!!!

[sirchai]

That guy look like a big baby, literaly

Can you imagine to see the fat baby stoned?

[Alwyn]

Gee-whiz, I guess they must be getting in here somehow...... They look to be upstanding people...... Is this the tip of the iceberg? , or has the iceberg tipped????? And does this represent Thailand? Seems all too close to home base..... What a shame Yingluck......... Thailand? I send my wishes for the Best Of Luck......... Seems to be in particular regions, from what I have read....... And Yingluck? Buy a new skirt, because yours is soiled, week by week.......

Very clever post. Not. Where on Earth have you managed to link this nonsense with Yingluck? What's it got to do with er, or anybody come to that? I reckon you must have smoked the lads stash to come up with these mental assumptions and connections!

[harber8]

Thieves arresting thieves. Same Thailand different day.

[Cricketnut]

Oh how the world shall be a better place after this debacle. How it even makes the news in Phuket is beyond me....

I too thought this was very cheap although I don't know the Street Value here. But 500 Baht a Gram??? Not worth the risk of selling it here for sure. At any price,
