There are 461 retail drug dealers in 179 slums and communities in 48 Bangkok districts, except for Sathorn and Bang Rak districts, the Office of Narcotics Control Board (ONCB) announced yesterday.
There are no details about big-time dealers or sub agents at any scale larger than the retail level provided in the ONCB report read out yesterday at a press conference by secretary-general Pol General Adul Saengsingkaew.
There are no explanations why there are no retail dealers in both districts, possibly whether because they are no slums in those areas which are prime properties and business districts and residences of well-to-do people.
In a breakdown by police precincts, there are 26 dealers in Phra Khanong police jurisdiction, 23 in Pracha Chuen police's and 21 in Bang Khen police's, said Adul, citing the report.
