On September 4, 2026, at the Sisaket Provincial Police headquarters, Governor Anurit Tammaprachai and Sisaket Provincial Police Commander Supachai Sakrinphanitkul announced results of Operation 90 Days, a 90-day anti-narcotics campaign. Officers successfully intercepted a major drug trafficking operation and confiscated 4 million methamphetamine tablets while arresting four suspects.

The operation took place at 12:30 a.m. as Task Force 238 coordinated personnel from police, military, civil administration, and prison officials to track and intercept the trafficking network. After detecting suspicious movement involving drug smuggling into Sisaket province, officers arrested the suspects at a gas station in Janthai subdistrict, Kanthralak district, while they were transporting the massive shipment of methamphetamine.

All four suspects—three men and one woman—were charged with trafficking in Category 1 narcotics with intent to distribute and drug possession. They and all seized materials were handed over to Kanthralak Police Station for legal proceedings, with authorities pursuing expanded investigation into associates, commanders, and related networks.

For the full Operation 90 Days campaign in Sisaket province from July 1 to September 4, 2026, officers arrested 1,086 drug-related cases involving 1,103 suspects. Confiscated narcotics included 11.55 million methamphetamine tablets, 6.42 grams of crystal methamphetamine, and 0.80 grams of ketamine. Officers also seized drug traffickers' assets valued at approximately 11.5 million baht.

The Sisaket governor noted that the 4 million tablet seizure marks another major case for the province, matching the largest previous single bust in the area's history. The operation demonstrates integrated coordination among security agencies—police, military, and civil administration—working to intercept drug trafficking at its source and transportation routes to prevent networks from resuming operations.
