Police break up marijuana production, delivery operation

The Metropolitan Police on Tuesday (May 5) zeroed in on cannabis production and delivery business in Bangkok’s Ramkhamhaeng area, arresting 12 people including one Hong Kong national.

Police also found 317 marijuana plants in a 4-storey building located in Ramkhamhaeng Soi 27. The building had a small greenhouse with temperature-control equipment.
The business was tracked down via a Line group called “Heaven Herb”, through which orders could be placed and delivered by delivery persons wearing uniforms similar to those of other delivery companies.
The Hong Konger, meanwhile, was arrested in Ayutthaya province with a kilogram of magic mushrooms and 327 cannabis plants.
He confessed that he had been dealing in marijuana for three years now, adding that the greenhouse can produce 10 kilograms of cannabis a month worth millions of baht.
The detainees have been charged with possessing and selling drugs.
