6 month drugs crackdown operation announced by the Pattaya Police Chief.

We begin this report with a press conference at Pattaya Police Station led by Police Colonel Nopadon, the acting-Chief of Pattaya Police. He announced the arrest of a man and woman in two separate cases.

A total of 500 Yabba Tablets and 13g of Crystal met-amphetamine known locally as “Ya-Ice” was seized. Khun Pakarapong aged 25 was arrested on Pattaya Third Road in front of the Moom Aroy Restaurant after an informant gave Police information that this male suspect was carrying drugs with intent to sell.

The second case involved the arrest of Khun Prannee aged 44 in the Car Park of the Ruamchork Condominium on the Pratamnak Road in South Pattaya after the successful culmination of an undercover operation.

During the press conference the Colonel announced that Pattaya must see a reduction in drug-related crime and he has initiated a 6 month eradication program which begun in May to combat criminals who engage in narcotic crimes.

This was stressed at a later meeting at the Town-in-Town Hotel in Central Pattaya where the Colonel addressed his officers. We understand that the Undercover Unit have been given strict instructions to concentrate on drug crimes and have been issued with targets which they must meet in the next six months.

Also at this meeting, the local journalist attacked in the recent case which left one Pattaya Police Volunteer dead was given a monetary donation to aid his rehabilitation.

"crack" down love it

the Undercover Unit have been given strict instructions to concentrate on drug crimes and have been issued with targets which they must meet in the next six months.

A few fit-ups on the cards during month 6 then?

For those who don't know what crystal meth does is, or does to it's users, check out PBS's Frontline, there's an excellent online documentary about the meth wave hitting the U.S. from west coast and working it's way to the east coast. Scary.

I wonder how hard it has hit here so far...

Some users shown seem to have aged 20 years after using that crap for 2 years.
