Boonlua Chatree
Nongprue police seized more than 1,600 methamphetamine pills and
arrested four during a raid of a house in Takientia linked to a major area
drug ring.
Suthat Meewai, 34; Wittaya Luangkhet, 27; Jetsada Charoenkan, 18; and
Chatmongkol Songsiang, 16, were caught Jan. 21 at the Rong Poh Townhouse
Village with 1,600 ya ba pills, 100 g. of crystal methamphetamines and a
homemade handgun.
Police said the arrest came after minor drug dealers previously arrested
pointed to Wittaya as their distributor. The drug haul had an estimated
value of 500,000 baht.
All the suspects denied dealing drugs and ownership of the drugs found in
the house’s cupboards.
Investigators alleged Suthat, recently released from prison after serving a
sentence for drug dealing, ordered methamphetamines from Bangkok and sold
them to Wittaya to resell in the Pattaya area. The two teens were alleged to
work as delivery boys.
