Drug raid at Sua Yai-uthit off Ratchadapisek 36 road



BANGKOK: -- A combined force of 30 commando, narcotic suppression and local police raided two suspected houses at Sua Yai community on Soi Sua Yai-uthit (Soi 36) off Ratchadapisek road early this morning in the drive against drug trafficking.

Sniffing dogs were also used in the raid of suspected targets in the Sua Yai community opposite the Ratchada Criminal Court.

The raid came after gaining information from a robbery suspect that after he sold the stolen items, he went to buy drugs at the two houses.

A search of the first suspected target which is a grocery shop produced no drug.

But a motorcycle which the police said was used many times in the past in robbery attempts was found.

The search of two other suspected houses found a Laotian couple and two Thai girls with a number of drug consuming equipment and a methamphetamine.

One suspect managed to jump put of the window and escaped while the police searched the house.

So a force of 30 commando(555), narcotic suppression officers raid 2 houses. Opps, plus sniffing dogs (must have a cold).

Result, 1 house no drug, well known motorcycle arrested. 2 further houses, 2 Laos citizens (obviously guilty of something), 2 Thai girls, drug consuming equipment and A methamphetamine.

And 1 suspect jumped out of the window and escaped.

Looks like they are winning the War on Drugs (1 methamphetamine at a time).

Were they following another 'tip off'?

A bit over the top i think 30 comandos for such a small bust - FAIL i would say!

Were they following another 'tip off'?

More like a squeal.

Used to stay there in Soi Sua Yai. Full of university students. Quite a fun place to be.
