PHUKET: Police have arrested a 28-year-old motorbike mechanic on Koh Siray, east of Phuket Town after he was found in possession of more than 800 grams of crystal meth (ya ice), two handguns he said he bought on Facebook and 40 bullets.

 

Anti-narcotic officers led by Phuket City Police’s Maj Rittichai Chumchuy moved in and arrested Apisek Sukmars at a motorbike repair shop in Soi Mali 9, off Thepprathan Rd, at 3:30pm on Thursday (Sept 29).

 

Apisek was found in possession of several bags containing a total of 823.65g of crystal meth, two handguns – a Colt 45 and a 9mm FN military-grade service pistol – and 40 bullets. Police also seized drug paraphernalia and digital scales in the raid.

 

Maj Rittichai said the arrested followed undercover officers monitoring Apisek’s activities after they had learned that he was using his motorbike shop, where Apisek also lived, as a front for selling drugs.

 

“We searched suspect’s shop and found several bags of ya ice and guns in the bedroom,” he explained.
