Four Hong Kong citizens were detained in the Suvarnabhumi airport for allegedly smuggling 14 kg of cocaine, according to the Office of the Narcotics Control Board ( ONCB) on Friday.

The four defendants were allegedly the organizers of a drug-related activity that transported and from Thailand to Hong Kong, according to the research team. &nbsp,

Eventually, it was discovered that the pirates arrived in Thailand on August 11 and spent the night at various resorts in Bangkok’s Huai Kwang and Ramkhamhaeng districts.

One of the suspects allegedly seized a bag containing medicines from a coupe close to a hotel in Huai Kwang on Wednesday evening. &nbsp,

Each suspect traveled to the Suvarnabhumi airport in Samut Prakan on Thursday around 7 p.m. in various vehicles, according to ONCB Pol Lt. Gen. Panurat Lakboonto, secretary-general of the ONCB, at a conference held on Friday with the Airport Interdiction Task Force ( AITF). &nbsp,

Each suspect entered a bathroom at the same time as the other to make the drugs for the airport’s appearance in Hong Kong. The defendants were arrested by the airport security devices, where 40 plates of cocaine, weighing 14kg, were found hidden in chocolate containers in rollaboard bag. Their names were never released. The cocaine and their personal items were taken. &nbsp,

According to Pol Lt. Panurat, four additional Hong Kong drug pirates were detained on June 23 for carrying out the same type of operation at the airport.
