Sattahip police have arrested a recently released
ex-convict and four minions for allegedly again dealing methamphetamines to
teenagers.
Suspected dealer A-non Chaimongkol, 22, and alleged
runners Tawwsap Pichitpaiwan, 22, Boripat Duangjai, 18, and Tosaporn
Bunpluk, 17, were apprehended by Sattahip Special Affairs Against Drugs
officers April 10. Three ya ba tablets were seized.
Police said A-non confessed that he’d returned to drug
dealing in the month since he’d been released from prison where he’d be
serving a sentence for narcotics. He said he’d tried to find honest work,
but couldn’t, and that he needed money to take care of his girlfriend’s new
baby.
A-non allegedly told police he’d gone to work for a big
Plutaluang dealer identified only as “Jae Gik,” who exploited
14-18-year-olds for drugs at higher prices than normal. However, the plan
backfired when 10 young customers attacked Jae April 9, sending him to the
Queen Sirikit Hospital and stealing 400 ya ba pills.
A-non is now cooperating with police to arrest Jae.
