Yaba, ya ice busts in South

Police on Friday arrested three people in a sting operation in Nakhon Si Thammarat province and seized 15,590 methamphetamine pills worth about 4.6 million baht on the street, four cars and 100,000 baht cash.

Pol Col Ronnapong Saikaew, superintendent of Nakhon Si Thammarat police station, said the three suspects - Somyos Sangleng, 25, Theera Ruanphet, 49, and Anusara Chaiya, 32 - ordered the drugs from a convict (name not given) who was recently transferred from Nakhon Si Thammarat Central Prison to Bang Kwang Central Prison in Nonthaburi province.

According to the suspects, the convict would send his men to deliver the drugs to them at specified areas and the drugs would then be sold to their clients in Nakhon Si Thammarat and Surat Thani provinces.

    The COOK connection is getting more powerfull by the day.
    A Phone tapping operation around any givven "Cook"(Prison) would be handy.
    although I think you need a Thai court order to get permission.
    Now That would not be that difficult now would it?

    Has the press / media ever objectively documented the transparent independently confirmed destruction/disposal of any confiscated drugs?
