BANGKOK: -- The Narcotics Suppression Bureau (NSB) in Bangkok confiscated 500 kilograms of marijuana and arrested five suspects, including two Laotians, in Lop Buri's Pattana Nikhom district on Sunday.

 

The five were named as Watcharapol Naksen, 29; Khomsan Chaisom, 22; Praiwan Orakul, 39; Loatian man Pudsa Xaywongsa, 39; and Loatian woman Waikham Suwantong, 27.

 

Using two pickup trucks and one car, the group allegedly smuggled the marijuana from Laos into Thailand via Nong Khai province before passing through central Thailand with the aim of reaching the deep South.

Saw this on the telly..it was a lot of weed. Wouldn't want to be in captured shoes. Then again they were probably just the mules.

No, but it will probably be on sale again next week.

Interesting thing is, if you watch the video and get to 2:45, look at the officer checking the car and see what he is doing with whatever he finds in the bags there inside the suspects car and then decide who is the real criminal!!

It looked like just a wad of cash into his back pocket. I'm sure he will turn it in as evidence when he gets a chance. And see how he looks over top of truck to see if his partner's are watching.

" He said the seized marijuana was of a premium grade and well-packed in vacuum bags with silica gel beads. One leaf-only block weighing about 900 grams and marked “PX” is reportedly worth up to Bt100,000 because it could be used in cancer therapy", Sommai added.

Now we cannot have one of nature's plants/herbs cure anything, hey!

They rarely catch the 'big'  guys, just the low to mid level dealers.
