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 transporting over 205 kilograms of syabu, valued at an estimated RM12.26 million, into Malaysia. In a coordinated operation on Friday, police conducted raids in Hatyai and apprehended four Thai nationals who were members of the syndicate, as reported by Kosmo.
The operation was initiated following a tip-off, which led to the arrest of the first suspect at 9:30 am. The suspect was discovered with several packages of syabu, which were intended for delivery to two accomplices. Following the initial arrests, police conducted additional raids in the Khuan Lang sub-district, resulting in the capture of two more individuals at their residences.
A 62-year-old woman was arrested on Sunday, bringing the total number of arrests to four. The drugs were allegedly destined for smuggling into Malaysia via Pengkalan Kubor, Kelantan.
