Two arrests as cops seize 80kg of ‘ice’

Nakhon Pathom: Two men were detained yesterday in the Muang district on suspicion of reportedly possessing about 80 kilogrammes of diamond methamphetamine.

Police arrested Chaiwat, 31, and Sitthichai, 25, ( surnames withheld ) for possessing a total of 78.9 kilogrammes of crystal meth. Bang Khaem and Nakhon Pathom, two homes in the Muang district, were the victims of the yesterday detention.

During the requests, officers found 70 carriers, each containing at least one kilogramme of crystal meth. Along with the medication, a handgun and six shots were also found.

Mr. Chaiwat allegedly admitted that an ex-college companion,” Golf,” had planned for him to get up 30 kilograms of crystal meth in July of last year.

He kept the medication in his home in tambon Nakhon Pathom. He had been hired by Golf to transport the medication to a different site. But, after a successful delivery, Golf only paid him 5, 000 ringgit instead of 40, 000 ringgit as promised.

Additionally, Golf gave Mr. Chaiwat the order to pick up 100 more kilos of glass cocaine. He delivered 20 to a customer in Kanchanaburi. The renter’s home in tambon Bang Khaem, where Mr. Chaiwat has rented, holds the majority. Mr Chaiwat admitted to the costs, while Mr Sitthichai denied any involvement.
