webfact Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Notorious drug gang smashed in BangkokBANGKOK: -- A combined of heavily armed narcotics suppression police and officials of the Office of the Narcotics Control Board (ONCB) smashed a notorious drug gang in Bangkok and arrested eight members, three of them leading figures, in a predawn raid yesterday.The raid followed almost a year long investigation and tracking of the gang known in the social media as “Oros Gang” after its leader and members posted video clips on You Tube daring the police to arrest them.The narcotics suppression police finally trailed the gangsters to a property in Therdthai area of Bangkok.The area was then sealed off and police moved in with their arms for fear that the gang members would resist.Three leading figures and five other members of the gang were arrested and a number of articles of evidence were seized.One police officer said the predawn raid was prompted after members from the Oros Gang posted clips online showing drugs and firearm and dared police to arrest them.They had also advertised the sale of firearms and narcotics online and one particular post showed more than 100 of its members partying with drugs.The police said they have been monitoring and investigating the gang’s activities for more than a year and lately were able to discover that the gang was headed by an individual known as Jay Oros.He apparently lived in luxury house and had vast sum of money from the sale of narcotics. Drugs were handed out to junior members who then distributed them to local dealers in Thonburi district.The gang is widely recognized as hoodlums by local residents who report that they are often seen about carrying firearms. These residents say that they have grown tedious with the gang’s activities but avoided any contact with them and rarely report them to authorities for fear of reprisals.Narcotic Suppression Bureau Pol Lt Gen Rewat Klinkesorn said after the raid that anyone with information about the Oros Gang should come forward because such gangsters cannot be allowed to exist.He declared “from now, on any Oros Gang member found will face direct severe action. Today’s arrest is comparatively straight forward adhering to guidelines set-out by the letter of the law.Yesterday’s search of three luxury houses yielded only two bottles of ketamine widely known as ‘Ya K’ and a small number of drug consummation utensils.In all, eight gang members were arrested and among these are two brothers known as ‘Somsuer Brothers’ who admitted to having committed no less than four offenses.These include murder, theft, assault and selling firearms. They admitted to having served jail terms and upon release had desired to distance themselves from a life crime as they had fathered children of their own and did not want them to be ashamed of their fathers.One key gang member said “I wanted to stop for the sake of my children and wife. I have 3 children and the oldest is 14 years of age from my former relationship.Another gang member said “I have a child who is only 5 months old and wished to stop for my child’s sake. I don’t want my child to see my bad actions because I wouldn’t know how to justify it. Furthermore, I don’t want my child to grow up without a father.”Police said they are still on the lookout for Jay, the leader of the gang after he fled from the house during the raid by jumping into a canal. He is believed to be armed when making his escape but police are confident that he will be apprehended very soon.Authorities also warned Jay and other members of the Oros Gang not to resist arrest as police will be forced to defend themselves and will not hesitate to use necessary force.

ezzra Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 20 odd years ago those clowns drug dealers would have been gunned down by the police on sight because " they have resisted arrest and shot at police" now days, it seems the cops are more merciful, somehow, those days when major drug dealers and serial killers met their demise rather than be arrested, are greatly missed.....

ParadiseLost Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 To me this still seems small fry, perhaps they moved a lot of product but in the end they are just retailers. They most likely got on the wrong side of their protector... What is needed is to find someone like these clowns supplier - only then do you start to make an impact. There are literally hundreds of low intelligence wannabes waiting to fill the minute 'gap' this arrest has made in the chain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunning the drug dealers down was one thing, but gunning down anyone and everyone you didn't like or was competition for your own operations then putting some drugs in their pocket is something else. And when the architect of the policy has the ethics and morales of a hyena, you know they aren't going to investigate you too closely after you did it. I wonder if he will ever be held to account.

FloridaExport Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Notorious drug gang smashed in Bangkok Awesome, so you got everyone in the gang? Three leading figures and five other members of the gang were arrested and a number of articles of evidence were seized. Cool, sounds like a small gang, but glad you got them. They had also advertised the sale of firearms and narcotics online and one particular post showed more than 100 of its members partying with drugs. Oh, less than 10% and probably small fries at that. That sounds more like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The manic Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Hardly a major bust! Just some ketamine was found! Hardly professional mafia. Such professionals do not party on Facebook! All this bust lacked was the tourist police and their derisory farang volunteers, the latter who should be flayed alive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No they are not sorely missed by decent humans. The war on drugs does more damage than the drugs themselves. That murderous nutters following an outdated and corrupt American anti drug policy should have a license to carry out their murderous deathly perversion is sick.- Killing people is not to be supported by anybody. Shame on you. Shame. Edited November 11, 2015 by The manic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wherease the police do not. actually, the police are the ones hindering JUSTICE in thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ks45672 Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Not only was the house surrounded, it says before the raid the whole area was sealed off.... Yet this guy managed to "swim" to an escape in a bkk canal full of the usual toxic waste?? I would bet the leader wasn't even there during the raid, he probably paid a fee to be notified of when the raid will be coming.... The ones arrested are probably not important to the leadership so they didn't get the opportunity to "escape"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or just one whose cognitive ability is slipping away? The views you express are in line with what one would expect from a fascist dictator or a Nazi.

Or just one whose cognitive ability is slipping away? I am the one defending 100% resposibility for actions for adult sane people. The views you express are in line with what one would expect from a fascist dictator or a Nazi. leftisit always say this when they run out of arguments. the one and only thing I agree with dictators - like Pinochet for example - all measures which allow to get rid of mafia are good. all of them. Where you are embracing a Stalinist authoritarian position. no way, Stalin was protecting criminals as an instrument of pressure on political enemies. Marxist ideology considered criminals "socially close to the ruling working class" Edited November 13, 2015 by TimmyT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
