RUSSIA: -- A popular Phuket-based Russian DJ has been arrested along with one other man for attempting to smuggle nearly 90 grams of cocaine into their native Russia.

Novosibirsk Police announced the arrest of the two men, who they said were taken into custody by police officers and Federal Security Service agents at Tolmachevo Airport, last Sunday (Mar 27).

Police did not name the two suspects, despite providing to the press low-resolution photographs that showed the men’s passports and flight tickets.

However, the ensuing outpouring of comments on Facebook by fans soon identified one of the men as a DJ who goes by the name “Kostya BenJamin”, better known as “Noise”.

DJ Noise is well known among the Russian community in Thailand, especially for his performances on the party island Koh Pha-ngan, near Samui. On his Facebook page, he names Phuket as his place of residence.

Following a search of the men’s bags on arrival, police seized two packages both containing white powder, six mobile phones, two laptops, 10 bank cards and a digital scale.
