A 16 year old boy was one of a group of suspected drug users caught at a Pattaya Police Checkpoint located in South Pattaya in the early hours of Tuesday. The checkpoint was located at the entrance to Soi 15 off Soi Buakow and a total of nine men were stopped and subjected to a roadside drug test. These presumptive tests will be confirmed with a more detailed blood test which will be conducted at Banglamung Hospital later on Tuesday. The most serious case related to the 16 year old boy who was caught in possession of 10 Yabba Tablets and 4 Packets of Crystal Methamphetamine weighing 1.3g. Due to the quantity of drugs seized, the boy, who was only recently released from a Young Offenders Institute, was charged with the serious offence of class 1 drug distribution. It was determined the boy did not work as a motorbike taxi driver and only borrowed the jacket to avoid problems with Police. The plan did not work and he was later charged. He claimed to be selling drugs to people on Pattaya Beach and was introduced to drug dealing by a fellow inmate at the Institute during his stay there.  The case will now go to Court.
