PHUKET: -- Police seized over 9,000 methamphetamine (ya bah) pills, marijuana, five pistols and over 200 bullets from four members of a drug network they say is one of the biggest on the island.

Provincial Police Chief Col Teeraphol Thipjaroen held a press conference at 1:30pm today (June 27) to announce the arrests of a major Phuket drug dealer named Kitipong Chorphol, 22, and three other men, Teerapong Rithirak, 23, Yongyuth Thiprong, 22, and Pananat Praweeranan,22, who are all said to work for Kitipong’s network.

On display at the press conference were various items seized from the four including 9,100 ya bah pills, 0.7g of crystal meth (ya ice), 390.10g of marijuana, five pistols and 269 bullets. However, other additional items seized included a Nissan pickup truck and B60,000 in cash.

Col Teeraphol explained that anti-narcotic officers had learnt that Kitipong and dealers have been selling drugs to local teenagers in Chalong. However, they also found that Kitipong and his network were also supplying drugs to other dealers in the area.

“After monitoring the group for some time, at 4:30pm on June 23 an undercover officer was sent out on a sting operation to buy drugs from a dealer named Therapong from a property in Chalong.
