On August 14, 2026, Sarakin Provincial Police Commander Major General Thaworn Dulyavit, Deputy Commander Colonel Chaturaphot Singhassit, and Investigation Division Chief Colonel Damrong Eempairojon coordinated with Khlong Nam Sai Police Station and military personnel to search a residential house in Moo 7, Khlong Nam Sai subdistrict, Aranyprathet district, Sarakin province. The search followed a tip-off about a drug-fueled party.

Police arrested 10 suspects consisting of four Thai nationals and six Cambodian nationals. A search of the premises uncovered 26.79 grams of ketamine, some of which was arranged in trays in a manner consistent with preparation for distribution and use at the party.

Officers charged the suspects individually based on their circumstances, including unauthorized possession of ketamine, methamphetamine use, and immigration violations in the case of the Cambodian nationals. All suspects and the seized drugs were handed over to Khlong Nam Sai Police Station for further legal proceedings.
