Pattaya –

The Pattaya City Police arrested three alleged drug dealers in Nonthaburi with a reported 20 kilograms of crystal methamphetamine seized.

On April 5th a team from the Pattaya City Police led by Police Chief Colonel Kunlachart Kunlachai arrested three alleged drug dealers who are Mr. Wuttikorn ‘Korn’ Promjae, 52, Mr. Chonlaphon ‘Ball’ Pramjae, 30, and Mr. Tanawat ‘Na’ Chaiwongsuwat, 25.

They were arrested at a gas station in Bang Yai, Nonthaburi. Seized from them were 20 kilograms of crystal methamphetamine.

Colonel Kunlachart told The Pattaya News, “We received a tip-off that a Thai man named only as ‘M’, 50, from Chiang Rai but now lives in Myanmar, is a major drug dealer. He was delivering drugs to his networks in Pattaya and the Bangkok area for a long time.”

“We conducted a sting operation to buy 20 kilograms of crystal methamphetamine from him. He asked those three suspects to deliver the drugs.” Colonel Kunlachart explained.

“However, we are collecting evidence to request an arrest warrant for ‘M Chiang Rai’ who is the head of the drug network. This warrant can be executed if M re-enters the country from Myanmar,” Colonel Kunlachart concluded.
