Authorities in Thailand have thwarted an attempt to smuggle a large quantity of methamphetamine into the country, with four individuals arrested in a series of raids conducted by the Region 9 Narcotics Suppression Bureau, local police, and the Office of the Narcotics Control Board Region 9. The drugs, worth over RM12.26 million, were to be transported by four suspects.
Information about the operation came from a tip received by the police last Friday, concerning several packages suspected of containing drugs being sent through a courier service. On Friday morning, a man was apprehended at a courier company in Ban Phru while attempting to collect the packages using a pickup truck. Further investigations led to the arrest of two more individuals at their residences in Khuan Lang.
One of the suspects had previously been involved in three deliveries of 800kg of methamphetamine, for which he was paid between RM19,622 and RM24,528. Additionally, a woman was found driving a pickup truck along Kanchanawanit Road on Sunday, attempting to transport the 205kg shipment meant for Narathiwat before it could be smuggled into Malaysia through Pengkalan Kubor in Tumpat, Kelantan.
