Drug suppression officials on Monday seized assets worth nearly 100 million baht suspected to have been acquired illegally and arrested four suspects in a joint operation to sweep up a drug network operating in eastern provinces.
A 300-strong team comprised officers from the Department of Special Investigation (DSI), Region 2 provincial police from Rayong and Chon Buri, Office of the Narcotic Control Board (ONCB), and the Anti-Money Laundering Office (Amlo).
Pol Lt-Gen Panya Mamen, the Region 2 Police chief, said they were armed with arrest warrants for six suspects believed to be members of a drug network led by Krairerk Nakpathom, a major drug convict who has been moved from Rayong Prison to Khao Bin Central Prison in Ratchaburi, and searched three locations in Lampang, two in Rayong, and 22 in Chon Buri.
Four of the suspects under the arrest warrants - Payap Nakpathom, Natchapapha Nakpathom, Nonthanan Nakpathom, and Surang Bantherng - were arrested.
The raiding teams seized one van, 18 cars, 13 motorcycles, 1.8 million baht in cash, 30-baht weight of gold ornaments, and 53 million baht bank in deposits believed to have been acquired through the drug trade.
