Narcotic police search big bikers’ idol Benz Racing’s apartment in Huey Kwang 

 

 

BANGKOK: -- A combined force of over a hundred narcotic suppression police and officials from the Anti Money Laundering Office launched simultaneous searches on 15 targets in Bangkok in the bid to root out the narcotic network of the Laotian drug baron Xaysana Keopimpha earlier arrested by police.

 

One of the targets searched is a big bike accessories shop in Huey Kwang area owned by Arkarakit Vorarojcharoenkij or well-known as “Benz Racing”, the net idol of all big bikers and the husband of TV actress Pat Napapa Tantrakul.

 

Benz racing was not in when police searched an apartment room on Soi Intamara 51 in Huey Kwang which was turned into a big bike accessories shop, and also living place.

 

The search was conducted after narcotic police gained information that the owner might involve with the narcotic network of the Laotian drug baron.

 

The Criminal Court has also authorised search warrant for the police.

 

Guards at the apartment told police that Benz Racing has ridden his big bike out of the apartment since 01.00 am.

 

Deputy commissioner of the Police Narcotic Suppression Bureau Pol Maj Gen Pornchai Charoenwong said over 40 targets nationwide were searched today, including 15 in Bangkok.

" the net idol of all big bikers  "  

 

Wow ! He's my "idol" ? Strange that I've never even heard of him before this story ! Never heard of Benz Racing before either.

 

Good that they are rounding up the rest of the "gang". Bad on the "reporting" angle though.

 

Needless to say, I won't be rushing to a local temple to light incense and pray for my "idol".  

 

Hmmmm 15 targets, one on Soi Intamara 51 - better run off to the lottery vendor to buy some "lucky" tickets !!

BANGKOK — The owner of a moto racing business who gained fame recently for marrying a popular actress has been linked by narcotics investigators to a notorious drug kingpin from Laos.

 

After the dramatic airport arrest of Xayasana Keopimpha late last month, a Narcotics Suppression Bureau investigation into his local connections led them to name as a person of interest Thursday morning the owner of an after-market accessories shop known as “Benz Racing.”

Looks like he will be needing a bigger bike...

"...Guards at the apartment told police Benz Racing has ridden his big bike out of the apartment since 01.00 am..."

 

Surely, he wasn't tipped off ???

You haven't heard of him probably because you are HD rider...

 

I heard of him but never thought he is some kind of idol....jeez.

There are some quite skillful riders out there totally unknown to general public.

So this guy is also allowed to ride a H2R (for track only) in the street...Post a picture of it and no one care since he is the "idol" of all biker....

Ever since the drug king pin Xaysana Keopimpha was arrested I have been waiting for him to begin talking.  Now that he has and named 'high-so' Thais, TV celebrities etc etc, I am wondering when the rest are going to get named "government officials, police, military" etc etc.  Number 1 rule, never talk and don't mention names. You do the time and your family is looked after and the you get out, you are well taken care of because you have done time for the organisation.  However, this 'king pin' 'drug baron' or whatever you may call him, can't even stick to the most basic rules.  He will be dead within months of hitting jail.
