Chalong police bust major drug

Within a short time period only, a team of the police station in Chalong packed three persons and gave custody of a large drug quantity belonging to a sea gypsy village in Rawai. The stash contained over 1,700ya bak tablets and over 600 grams of hardware crystal meth, or ya ice.

The central plot in this forth night raid was a 51 year old Miss Yee, who was a neighbourhood leader. As per her recently acquired identification papers, her true given name Suri has been registered at the police records; however, a sole reason for keeping her surname in obscurity remains privacy.

Major Drug Bust

The authority rescued a range of drugs at her living place, of which 1756 Yaba pills and 616.76 grams of ya ice were included. Under the influence of a narcotic substance, the drugs were ranked in small plastic bags carefully in order for them to get supplied.

The problem of selling a Category 1 drug, such as Suri’s case, is quite harsh to deal with. The crime is doubled as it is the scale on which the drugs are being shipped and that too huge quantities of drugs.
The wroyatynnywr in Appendix H, Section 4.0 focused on Suri’s arrest not only. At the of the trail along the coast, there was 42 year old Somchai. He was in the result of the 20 Yaba pills. As a result, he was charged with the violation of the illegal possession of a Category 1 narcotic without the proper prescription, and also, with gambling online – both are criminal offenses.

“Niwat, a teenage boy, found with two ya dance pills, faces charges for possession and consumption of a Schedule 1 category drug.”

The following third one was one of our neighbors’ children with other names – Niwat, a teenage boy. Little so he was found with two ya dance pills which then land him into trouble. He was thus charged with possession and consumption of a Schedule 1 category drug, which is a deliberate violation of the law, as reported in The Phuket News.

The officer on Chalong implied that those involved in the drug trade will face a harsh fightback from the police. They made themselves stand out as they were ready to confront such behavior even from big-time dealers, petty sellers to the point of consumers. Without discrimination.

They declare the commencement of an in-depth inquiry only to be followed by the diligent efforts at the prosecution level, ensuring everyone the elimination of drug trafficking.

Police arrest violent debt collector after tip-off in Bangkok

Police apprehended a member of a violent debt collection gang linked to the assault of a 73-year-old woman following a tip-off. He was caught while attempting to flee from a motel on the outskirts of Bangkok.

High-ranking police officials, including Thiti Sangsawang, Noppasin Poolsawat, and Thiradech Thamsuthee, along with a team of investigators, successfully arrested Kritchit, also known as 33-year-old Chit Thasala, from Nakhon Si Thammarat Province today, July 30.

He is one of the three members of the gang responsible for violent debt collection activities, including physical assault, intimidation, kicking doors, cutting off electricity, and locking debtors inside their homes.

The Min Buri Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant for Kritchit on July 23 for operating an unauthorized personal loan business, charging excessive interest, and threatening debt collection practices.

He was apprehended at a hotel in the Saphan Sung district as he tried to escape in his car. During interrogation, Kritchit denied all charges, stating he had only completed Grade 9 and initially worked as a fruit farmer in Phuket’s Thalang District. In 2022, he sold his orchard land and used the proceeds to start a money-lending business.

He collaborated with two other suspects, Ta and Khet, who are still at large, to lend money in the Min Buri, Ram Inthra, Rom Klao, and On Nut areas.

They charged an interest rate of 20% daily, with borrowers typically taking out 5,000 to 6,000 baht loans. Kritchit claimed that Ta and Khet were responsible for using violence against the debtors on the day of the incident.

“I only worked with Ta and Khet to lend money. They were the ones who used violence.”

However, police remain skeptical of his testimony. Investigations revealed that Kritchit is romantically involved with the younger sister of Kenwit, another gang member who was previously arrested for assaulting the older woman.

Kenwit’s gang had attacked the 73-year-old in the Chokchai area. After receiving a tip-off, Kritchit fled to the hotel, where he was captured.

Police have transferred Kritchit to the Min Buri Police Station for further legal proceedings. His capture is a significant breakthrough in the ongoing crackdown against violent debt collection gangs operating in Bangkok and nearby areas.

As one of the lead investigators remarked, we are committed to cracking down on these illegal activities and ensuring the safety of our citizens.

Kritchit’s case will proceed through the legal system, and police are continuing their search for the remaining gang members, Ta and Khet. The investigation remains ongoing, with police hopeful that further arrests will follow, dismantling the entire network of violent debt collectors, reported Khaosod.

Thai vendor denies assault, cites stress from poor sales

A Thai grilled squid vendor turned himself in and expressed remorse after allegedly striking a Pattaya city official who requested him to move his sidecar motorcycle from obstructing traffic.

The vendor, however, denied the physical assault, citing stress from poor sales as the trigger for the incident. He claimed their encounter was limited to a verbal disagreement and a shirt tug.

Pattaya police yesterday, July 29, invited Siwachett Nakham, a 42-year-old former temporary employee at the government’s Public Works Department and a current grilled squid vendor, to meet with an investigator to address the dispute.

The altercation involved Siwachett and a 40-year-old Pattaya city official, Udon Woranam, who had requested Siwachett to move his vehicle, blocking traffic near Jomtien Beach in front of the Dongtan Police Box. Siwachett was accused of punching Udon after the latter politely asked him to move his motorcycle. Siwachett, who acknowledged being the person in the video, denied the physical assault, maintaining that he only had a verbal confrontation with Udon and tugged his shirt.

He cited stress from poor sales and financial burdens as the reasons behind his behavior.

“I did not intend to harm Mr Udon because I had worked with the Public Works Department before, so I knew hitting an official was a bad idea.”

Siwachett apologized for his actions, and Udon said he did not wish to pursue the matter further. Despite this, Pattaya City insisted on taking legal action against the vendor to set a precedent and deter similar future incidents.

Selling goods

Additionally, Udon advised other vendors to remain calm, control their emotions, and adhere to the designated areas for selling their goods according to the law.

Following resolving this dispute, traffic police officers from Pattaya Police Station raided vendors illegally selling goods on public sidewalks and roads around Pattaya. This operation was in response to tourists’ complaints about obstructions and hazards caused by unorganized vendors.

When authorities arrived near Pattaya Police Station’s Dong Tan substation, they encountered heavy traffic congestion caused by street vendors parking on the road. Some vendors attempted to evade arrest by speeding through the officers’ blockade, putting the safety of officers and nearby individuals at risk.

Thai police managed to apprehend 12 vendors, who will now face legal proceedings for violating traffic and cleanliness laws. The police also announced plans to increase daily inspections in collaboration with municipal officials to restore public spaces for residents and tourists, reported the Pattaya News.
