[Pattaya One]

Two suspected drug dealers and 2,000 Yabba Tablets were seized in a drug suppression operation conducted by Banglamung Police on Friday Night.

Police Colonel Somnook, the Banglamung Police Chief held a press conference to announce the arrest of Khun Jirasak aged 28 and Khun Pansa aged 22. They were caught as the result of an earlier arrest of a female drug dealing suspect named as Khun Jirawan aged 23, the wife of a convicted drug dealer currently incarcerated at Rayong Central Prison. It appears he is still controlling his drug supply network from behind bars and according to the Colonel he uses his wife to control the operation from outside the Prison.

Under interrogation she named the two arrested suspects as drug dealers working for her Husband and Police organized an undercover operation whereby they lured the pair to the front of the Tamasat University Pattaya Campus on Friday Night where an undercover officer attempted to purchase the 2,000 Yabba Tablets.

The two suspects realized it was a trap and sped off with Police in hot pursuit. Eventually a Police vehicle was able to force the fleeing pair to stop their vehicle which led to the arrest and the seizure of the tablets and four mobile phones. Both were charged with serious class 1 drug offences and await trial.
