Drug kingpin suspect flees police after ladyboy meth dealer arrested

Darawan Naknakhon

PHUKET: Police are on the lookout for a suspected Phuket Town drug kingpin who escaped an attempted sting, while another ladyboy drug dealer is in custody after being caught nearly 60 grams of crystal meth.

The ladyboy, Mr Theewa Saengwomen, has been charged with possession of a category 1 drug with intent to sell without permission, after he was nabbed by police at a rented house on Soi Po Kui lane of Mae Luan Rd in Phuket Town Talad Neua neighborhood.

Acting on tip-off by an informant that Mr Theewa was selling Ya Ice (crystal meth) to neighborhood teens and “night workers”, drug suppression officers staged a sting to purchase B1,000 worth of meth from Mr Theewa.

As the deal was taking place, police moved in for the arrest.

A subsequent search of Mr Theewa’s rented room uncovered B145,000 in cash and more crystal meth, weighing a total of 58.48 grams, which police seized as evidence.

At B2,500 per gram (according to previous police reports), the drugs are valued at nearly B150,000.

In subsequent interrogations, Mr Theewa told police that the drugs were supplied by a Mr Few (surname unknown), who was then lured in a new sting at a 7-11 sore in the Kuku neighborhood.

Staked out, police spotted a Toyota saloon thought park in front of the convenient store which was thought to belong to the suspect.

But when police moved in for an arrest, the suspect fled in a hurry, managing to avoid apprehension.

The operation is ongoing.

What an ugly ladyboy!

Wouldn't go near him/her for anything.............

Attractive

"B145,000 in cash"

See?

Instead of extorting innocent people, just do your job, somewhat, and end up with the spoils.

Everyone is a winner.

Well it is clearly obvious the lady boy part was just his disguise.

....should not be difficult to apprehend the 'kingpin'....if they want to......

That's a ladybloke!

So permissions are issued here for drugs to be sold?

1 - how can you sell a drug that is banned WITHOUT permission

2- are the "Cops" on stakeout - on foot and running after alleged person or just too lazy to get in their cars and apprehend him???

There's no "lady" in that "boy."

you're "here" but dont understand how 'permissions' can be obtained?

standard of "ladyboy" is dropping alarmingly,

have you noticed in most of these reports the "big cheese" always escapes, ?? just sayin !!

amazing how the kingpin can manage to escape every time. These buffoons just don't do themselves any favors do they? I doubt they could catch an STD in a whore house.
