PATTAYA, THAILAND – Authorities have arrested two women found with “Ice” drugs, leading to a raid that captured alleged seller “Jae Kung” and seized further narcotics. The operation followed resident complaints about regular drug handovers to youths in front of a house, culminating in arrests and evidence collection.
Pursuit Ends at Police Station
Officials from the Bang Lamung administrative authority observed two women briefly stop in front of a house, receive a small bag, and flee on a motorcycle. The women then proceeded to the Laem Chabang police station, seemingly to seek refuge.
Law enforcement officers and administrative personnel apprehended the women. A search of their possessions revealed two resealable bags containing a total of 0.8 grams of “Ice.”
Confession Leads to Address
The two suspects stated they had purchased the “Ice” from a woman identified as “Jae Kung.” They voluntarily guided officers to her residence as part of the investigation.
Residents Report Years of Sales
Residents in the neighborhood informed authorities that “Jae Kung” had been selling drugs for a significant period, frequently handing over substances directly to customers outside her home. It was alleged that she often used her son, who has attention deficit disorder, to facilitate these transactions and retrieve payments.
Officials on Site and Date of Investigation
The operation was led on June 2, 2569 BE by Mr. Khamphai Laosaen, deputy district chief for security in Bang Lamung, accompanied by administrative authority officers. Support for the arrests and the subsequent house search was provided by the Laem Chabang police.
Seized Evidence and Arrests
The seized items included 0.8 grams of “Ice” from the two arrested women. Additionally, the search of “Jae Kung’s” house yielded 8.9 grams of “Ice,” 18 Yaba tablets, empty packaging, and a digital scale. These items were taken as evidence. The individuals arrested were the two women and the accused seller, “Jae Kung,” acting on repeated neighborhood complaints.
Concrete Consequences for the Neighborhood
The raid and subsequent arrests have temporarily halted the years-long drug trade occurring in front of the residence and are intended to disrupt the drug cycle. Authorities expressed hope that these measures would enhance neighborhood safety and prevent further drug-related activities.
