Thai cops bust syndicate attempting to smuggle syabu into M’sia
Thai authorities also arrested four syndicate members, including a 62-year-old woman.
PETAJINGA: Thai law enforcement has thwarted a drug smuggling plot aimed at bringing over 205 kilograms of syabu, with an estimated street value of RM12.26 million, into Malaysia. A series of raids in Hatyai resulted in the arrest of four Thai nationals, all members of the syndicate, according to Kosmo. Acting on a tip-off, Thai authorities apprehended the first suspect at 9.30am on Friday, who was found with several packages of syabu.
Subsequent raids in Khuan Lang sub-district led to the arrest of two more accomplices at their homes. The syndicate allegedly planned to use a courier service for smuggling the drugs. A Thai police spokesman stated that the first suspect was responsible for delivering the drugs to the other suspects. On Sunday, a 62-year-old woman was arrested, completing the takedown of the entire gang. The drugs were destined for smuggling into Malaysia via Pengkalan Kubor, Kelantan.
