NSD fourth command’s third superintendent, Pol Colonel Somkiat Chakchoom, led officers to arrest suspects Sorpi-i Jirawan and Arun Chucheun in Tambon Khlong U-Tapao. They seized drugs hidden in sacks in their pickup truck’s cargo bed and in a secret compartment in the passenger cab.
Officers claimed the “ice” was being transported from the Northeast to the South and would later be taken to Malaysia. Police continue to probe the case in search of more accomplices.
