Banglamung –
One suspect has escaped while two people tested positive with drugs after a raid at a housing estate in Banglamung where police found a gun, bullets, and illegal drugs.
The Nongprue Police told the Pattaya News they raided two houses in Nongprue on Saturday (March 18th). The raid followed an anonymous concerned citizen notifying police that many teenagers were allegedly taking drugs at these houses.
Police arrived at the area to find two spacious houses. They called for the suspect named ‘Mr. Tam’, who the anonymous concerned citizen had identified previously, before a man came out from the house and escaped by fleeing on foot. Police attempted to catch him but unfortunately the suspect was able to flee.
Police found Mr. Jirawat Pangkam, 28, and Ms. Patra Rompoe, 31, in the house with an unspecified amount of crystal methamphetamine, guns, and bullets. They both tested positive for drugs. They told police that the house owner was the person who escaped. They are facing charges of illegal possession of Category 1 drugs.
However, the Nongprue Police are continuing their investigation to find the escaped suspect, believed to be Mr. Tam.
