Deputy Prime Minister Chalerm Yoobamrung and National Police chief General Adul Saengsingkaew held a press conference on Saturday to announce the arrest of police officers in Nan province accused of dealing methamphetamine after being caught with 1 millio
"It’s a source of pain and shame for all police officers that some police sell drugs themselves. They even used a vehicle with a police shield logo to sell the drugs," Chalerm said. "But I’m glad that they have been arrested."
The gang was involved in transporting the drug from the northern province for sale in Bangkok, a drug-suppression police officer said at the press conference.
The officers accused of involvement in the drug-dealing gang include Pol Lt-Colonel Thammanoon Nakbua, superintendent of Uan police station, and Pol Sub-Lieutenant Jittipong Sochai, who is a crime-suppression officer.
