Narcotics Suppression Division 2 has conducted a sting operation, offering to buy 100kg of marijuana for Bt400,000 from a drug dealer identified as Dey in Nakhon Phanom.

Police then arrested Dey's accomplice Noi Tocho, 45, who delivered 22kg of drugs and was checking the banknotes for authenticity while Dey narrowly escaped. Police later searched Dey's home and found 58kg of marijuana.

Operatives from Narcotics Suppression Police 3 and Provincial Police Region 9 caught three Malaysian men aged 1928 and two Thai women in their 30s in Songkhla's Sadao district while allegedly trying to transport 45kg of crystal meth worth Bt145 million to Malaysia.

The five suspects maintained their innocence, but police believe they got the crystal meth from the North, stored the consignment in Bangkok and took it to Sadao for smuggling across the border.
