Three dealers nabbed as 1.5 kilos of Thai 'brick weed', 10g of crystal meth seized

PHUKET: More than 1.5 kilogrammes of compacted, dried cannabis and just under 10 grams of crystal meth have changed hands from local dealers to Phuket authorities following recent seizures and arrests.

Phuket police yesterday (April 23) announced their latest drug suppression progress, credited to two separate teams between the hours of 4.30pm and 11pm the previous evening.

The initial arrest, of 20-year-old Panupong Chuchaat, was executed by a mixed task force comprising Thalang police officers and civil defence volunteers from the district’s Stability Division, headed by district admin clerks (palad) Seereepong Leeprasit and Danai Jaikaeng.

Authorities were tipped off that Panupong had been selling small baggies of marijuana to local teens and proceeded to stage a sting operation by luring the suspected dealer with a B200 purchase at the young man’s house in Thepkrasatri’s Moo 2.

At the suspect’s house, officers made an initial seizure of two small baggies of weed, and proceeded to search the house, in which they found and seized 18 more baggies of marijuana, all in reported to weigh 30.6 grammes.

Mr Panupong was booked and charged with possession of a Category 5 drug with intent to sell.
