Thai police arrested a South Korean drug supplier in Pattaya following the rounding up of 70 drug suspects and the seizure of drugs value about 17 million baht.
The Thai Immigration Bureau (TIMB) held a press conference at the Brighton Grand Hotel in Pattaya at present, the place they shared the small print of the arrest. Officers emphasised that the successful capture of the South Korean drug vendor was made possible by way of a fruitful collaboration with authorities from South Korea.
During the press convention, the TIMB disclosed that the narcotics suppression bureau in Seoul recently performed extensive raids on leisure venues positioned within the Gangnam and Itaewon neighbourhoods. These operations resulted in the arrest of 70 drug users and distributors, in addition to the confiscation of a extensive variety of medication valued at more than 640 million won or 17 million baht.
After the operation, the South Korean officers found that a 26 yr previous man named Kim Junbeom, who worked for a huge drug lord within the country managed to flee to Thailand. Thai authorities carried out further investigation and finally tracked down Junbeom to an expensive residence in Pattaya.
According to the police report, Junbeom used a Telegram utility to contact his customers and delivered the medication himself at every entertainment venue. Blacklisted to flee to Thailand was motivated by the crackdown on the venues.
Despite being pursued by South Korean regulation enforcement, Junbeom continued to smuggle medicine from Thailand to South Korea. He delivered drugs, largely crystal meth, through parcels from Thailand to South Korea.
The Commissioner of the TIMB, Parkphumphiphat Satjaphan, admitted that when Thailand opened to vacationers it also allowed overseas criminals to come into the nation. TIMB has implemented extra stringent measures and rigorously examines the legal information of all visitors earlier than granting them entry permission..
