First case of using baby girl doll to smuggle drug foiled
Police announced on Tuesday that they had detected the first attempt to smuggle methamphetamine pills by hiding the drug in a baby girl doll, similar to the popular “Child Angel” doll.
The doll with 200 methamphetamine pills inside was found left unattended in a handbag near a pillar in a passenger waiting area inside the car park of the Chiang Mai International Airport.
Provincial Police Bureau 5 deputy commissioner Pol Maj Gen Prayud Boonsri said the bag was spotted at 8am Monday and police organised a stake out there until 6pm but nobody turned up to claim the bag.
The drug was found in a plastic bag hidden in the clothes of the doll, which stands about 30 centimetre tall.
Prayud announced the drug seizure just a day after Police Commissioner General Pol Gen Chakthip Chaijinda voiced concern that drug traffickers might use the dolls to smuggle drugs into the kingdom.
