Phuket police arrest woman with million baht’s worth of drugs

Eakkapop Thongtub

Amporn was arrested on Friday.

PHUKET: -- A 27-year-old woman was arrested on Friday (April 17) for possession of drugs worth B1.8 million after police received a tip-off.

At 10pm, police headed to the suspect’s house on Narisorn Rd in Talad Yai.

Upon arrival, police questioned the suspect, Amporn or Mam Kaisorn, 27, and eventually seized 36,000 meth pills, 874 grams of crystal meth, along with a mobile phone and a bank book.

The arrest came after police nabbed a dealer named Thammarat Muddtey on Narisorn Rd with four grams of crystal meth a few days earlier.

Thammarat gave up the name of his dealer to police after being questioned. Police then searched Amporn at her home and found 20 grams of crystal meth.

After being questioned by police for five hours, Amporn finally told police where she kept the rest of the drugs.

Police were led to another home on the same street and discovered the 36,000 meth pills and 850 grams of crystal meth.

Amporn told police the drugs belonged to her supplier, a man named Art. She told police she gets paid to take care of the drugs and deliver them to clients at a drop off location, directed to her via the phone by Mr Art.

After questioning Amporn, police said that if she had delivered all the drugs successfully, she would have been paid B320, 000.

Police records revealed that Amporn was arrested for drugs in 2007 by the crime suppression authority. They seized her valuable assets, worth more than B3 million. Police asked her how she got the items and where she got the money to buy them.

On April 20, Amporn will find out whether she will be allowed to get her belongings back from the court.

Amporn is currently at the Phuket Provincial police station facing the charge of Category 1 with intent to sell.

Good bust.

All from a 4 gram seizure.

And they love to grass-up their uplines.

[NeilSA1]

Well done, again.

Keep up the pressure. Maintain the fight against drugs and illegal weapons.

Yes it is a good bust.

Why after being caught with just 20 grams would she give up the rest of her stash?

Good police questioning methods or threatened with torture?

Thais (and Burmeses) confess too easily.

[Guitar God]

Thai police don't seem to understand the "confidential" part of "confidential informant".

I think they would have more small time dealers willing to rat out their suppliers if they knew they weren't going to be named in the newspaper the next day. What's the point of naming your source of information in the newspaper?

"Okay, here's the deal, you tell us where you got the drugs from and will let you go free. And then tomorrow will put your full name and home address and your age in the newspaper and then by the next day you'll be found dead in the canal somewhere. Sounds like a good deal to you?" "cool, sign here"

With this latest bust, seems getting her belonging back on April 20th will be over. Then again, this is Thailand so she might plead hardship over loosing her income stream and request the belongings back so she can support herself until the next supply line is opened for her.

Excellent comment & also important information from our resident Wizard !

Uruguay has recently legalised marijuana & there are many more watching to see if it works...the answer is it does ...so why don't the United Nations submit a resolution legalizing drugs on a global basis?! Greed & the Drub Barons is the answer sadly...but heh! wouldn't it be something if it ever happened & who knows if the fast growing countries that are interested join up it may just be unstoppable because all the facts proves it works & the prisons are half emptied as a bouns ......

Does she look tortured?

But I have little sympathy for her if it were true. She is a criminal and a part of the chain that inflicts terrible consequences on the end user.

My congrats to the Police for a job well done in tracking back closer to the source of supply. But DON'T just stop at her!

[Docno]

First arrested for drugs (possession? sales?) at age 19. Back again at age 27. Seems that some people will never learn.

With the same restrictions as alcohol, IE, no driving, intoxicated means it was your fault whatever the scenario.

[Traveller45]

Saudi Arabia has no drug problems because they kill the dealers. It works well as a deterrent. Didn't that use to be the case in Thailand, too?

The death sentence is still in place but if you confess it gets reduced to life.

Deadly serious.

[wabothai]

Don't these people ever think about or realize the consequences of getting caught and spend the rest of their lives crying. I don't get it.

On another note she may have been forced.

[FarangKenStine]

It looks like she is sitting in front of a selection of donuts and baked goods. Is it just me?

[steelepulse]

Yes, that's quite the moustache. On another news site there seems to be some serious stubble.

[rijit]

lets be clear i dont take them , but the reason why she's sitting in front of them is because seems a lot of people do and have been doing for at least the last half a century and seems v likely will carry on doing so irrelevant of punishments handed out. isnt it about time society took a diferent stance and legalised and legislated them rather than waste time and money chasing prosecuting and jailing people in the full knowledge someone else will take over this particular womens sales.

Do not laugh, in France, though it was Arabic, she could tell that it was for personal consumption ...

It would be left with an identity card and naturalization!

You came to the wrong country little child...

I think that is not such a bad idea. We should de-criminalise drugs. Why not like many of us I for one would not buy them just as I would not smoke or drink or eat all day. We spend too much time and money on people who sadly have a death wish.

[NamKangMan]

I think it's time for the Phuket Governor to release a press statement saying, "Phuket has not got a drug problem" - just to put people's minds at ease.

Thais (and Burmeses) confess too easily.

Mr. Art may never be caught and Mrs. Mam might get off light for cooperation meanwhile I leave it to the imagination as to what will become of the stash!

like the "well done police" can anyone read on here, they did not do any "tracking" etc, she was grassed up, if the cops had even half a brain, they would not release the name of the "grasser", and once caught the minnows would grass up a few more and bring the "big fish" to justice, oops sorry i just thought, what wont happen, too well "connected" ?? good post number 7.
