Police Bust Methamphetamine Gang, Arrest Two Couriers
Metropolitan Police arrested two drug couriers in Samut Sakhon on July 18 after intercepting a pickup truck carrying 600,000 methamphetamine pills destined from Saraburi.
Metropolitan Police Division 1 tracked a methamphetamine trafficking gang moving 600,000 pills from Saraburi to Samut Sakhon. Officers set up an interception operation and spotted two couriers, who then fled in a pickup truck but ultimately could not escape. At 6:30 p.m. on July 18, 2025, Police Lieutenant Colonel Worasak Pisitbannakorn, Commander of Division 1, authorized an arrest operation led by officers including Sublieutenant Natthaprakan Luangluksami and others. They arrested Chawwlit, 28, and Nisittrakaan, 28, along with 600,000 methamphetamine pills in a construction yard on Chumchon Pattana 1 Road, Phanthayanusinghe Subdistrict, Muang District, Samut Sakhon. The arrest followed intelligence that a trafficking network from Saraburi was arranging a drug delivery in the area. When officers approached the suspects for inspection, both attempted to flee, abandoning their vehicle and running to a nearby construction yard before being apprehended. Initial questioning revealed the two were paid 15,000 baht each to deliver the drugs. Police will continue their investigation and expand charges accordingly. The suspects and drugs have been handed over to prosecutors for legal proceedings.
