A teenage couple and a man have been arrested in Songkhla province’s Hat Yai district for allegedly selling drugs in this southern border town.
Acting on a tip-off, police arrested a 19-year-old and his 15-year-old wife at a hotel room on Chote Wiriyakul 5 Road in Hat Yai on Tuesday evening.
Police allegedly found 407 grams of crystal meth or “ice” in the room.
The two allegedly confessed that they were paid Bt1,500 by Kittipong Somesoda, 25, to rent the room and use it to deliver the drug to clients.
Police said they got the teen to call Kittipong to the hold and arrested him.
Kittipong told police he bought the drug from a man, known only as Tum, via Facebook and he had hired the teenaged couple to distribute the drug from the hotel.
