Pet monkey caught up in drug case
Two little monkeys clung tightly to their owners, Kanchana An-ampol, 38, and Sakuna Suthipibul, 24, as the two women were arrested in possession of 470 amphetamine pills known as “yaba” and 6.8 grams of crystal meth at their rented room in Chon Buri’s Sattahip district on Monday.
The arrest followed an investigation that found the women had allegedly sold drugs to local young people. The two women reportedly confessed to having been convicted for drug crimes before, adding that after they were released they resumed their criminal activities.
They reportedly said they had been supplied by a Chon Buri-based dealer identified only as a woman named “Nok” whom they knew from prison.
Officials planned to send the pet monkeys to an animal rehabilitation centre before returning them to the wild while the same-sex couple were accused of possessing narcotics with the intent to sell.
