A suspected drug dealer was injured when he crashed into police cars
during an attempted escape in Sattahip.
Kriangwuth Sricharoen, 30, was apprehended April 15 after an undercover drug
buy went bad in front of Bang Saray School. Sattahip and National Command
Center for Drugs authorities had attempted to snare the Rayong Prison
ex-convict in a sting operation using an informant, but Kriangwuth spotted
the police and fled.
The chase continued into Plutaluang, where he lost control near the Grand
Hill Hotel. He was captured with 150 methamphetamine tablets hidden in his
underwear.
Kriangwuth had been arrested just three days earlier on drug charges and set
free on bail.
