PHUKET:-- A 74-year-old woman was taken into police custody today (Nov 21) when she was found to be in possession of 58 kilograms of kratom. The arrest came following raids on two properties in the Saphan Ruam community in Rassada.

 

At 10am this morning, the 41st Military Circle led by chief of peace and order operations Maj Sathit Naikul together with defence volunteers led by Phuket District Office official Mr Mr Wiratdej Boonriangkhao raided two homes in Moo Baan Saphan Ruam Soi 6 in Rassada after receiving a tip-off that the home owners had been selling drugs to local teenagers.

 

Following the raids, it was announced that 58.5kg of kratom, 45 bottles of cough syrup and B13,000 in cash had been seized and one arrest made.

 

Maj Sathit said, “When we arrived at one of the homes (No. 33) we saw one woman come out, but she quickly fled the area.

 

“Inside the home officers found an elderly woman, Ms Jai, 74. She had had many bags of kratom leaves placed in a sack and basket which were hidden in the bathroom and bedroom.

Probably just her personal stash.  At 74 she buys some, forgets where she put it, buys some more, forgets where she put it, next thing you know...50 kilos.  :whistling:

Just carrying her pension plan with her. It was indeed portable. She no doubt was unhappy with the governments pension plan which she well should be. The government is basically telling you its your responsibility to look after yourself in your old age or better yet the responsibility of your hard working children. Don't bother us we are to busy buying submarines and building up the military.
