Sarayoot Sanguanphokai, Commissioner of the Narcotics Suppression Bureau, revealed that the arrest was the result of an expanding investigation of the confiscation of 1,900,000 methamphetamine pills in Ang Thong province on April 26th.

The police database system “Big Data” analyzed that another drug trafficking from the same group would occur again from the borders of neighboring countries to drug dealers in the central region of Thailand. The police, therefore, planned to track down and eventually arrest the group.
