PHUKET: -- Three small-time drug dealers were arrested within the space of a few hours on Sunday (Jan 24) following the arrest of one individual in Srisoonthon.

A Provincial Police Crime Suppression Unit led by Pol Lt Ritthichai Chumchoy arrested the three men who between them were found to be in possession of drugs, a gun and ammunition. The three were named as Songkan Badan, 33, from Kalasin; Arwuth Kongsong, 27, from Krabi and Thitinan Thiprin, 27, from Nakorn Sri Thammarat.

In total police seized from the three 23.86 grams of crystal meth (ya ice), 12 methamphetamine pills (ya bah), 57.30g, drug taking paraphernalia, three digital scales, one Thai pradit pistol and seven .38 bullets and one 12 gauge shotgun shell.

Pol Lt Ritthichai said that undercover police followed Songkan after learning that he had been selling drugs to teenagers and drug dealers in Thalang and surrounding areas.

On Jan 24 at 1:30pm we received a tip-off that Songkan was going to deliver drugs to his client. We learned that he had a rented room in Soi Noptakaew so a team went there. They spotted his vehicle in the car park so decided to raid his room. Inside we discovered 16 bags of ya ice weighing 19.17g, five ya bah pills, drug taking paraphernalia and one digital scale, he said.
