Police Warn Delivery Rider to Come Forward or Face Arrest
Police are seeking a delivery rider who brought a package to a Thai airline hostess on June 22, warning he must come forward or face arrest charges for alleged involvement in heroin trafficking.
At 11:30 a.m. on July 1st at the ONCB's Din Daeng office, Deputy Police General Suriya Singhakmol, secretary of the ONCB, revealed that a male motorcycle rider captured on CCTV on June 23 delivered a package to "Nong Mina," a Thai airline hostess, at a condominium. However, this is not the same rider who delivered the heroin package mentioned in earlier reports.
Suriya disclosed that from reviewing additional CCTV footage, the vehicle used to deliver a package to the flight attendant on June 22—which police suspect and want to interrogate—is a dark-colored car, though the brand, license plate, and route remain unclear as they are needed for the ongoing investigation.
Police are requesting the rider involved to cooperate and provide information to the ONCB immediately before authorities escalate to issuing an arrest warrant. If the person continues to remain silent and uncooperative, they will face charges.
Police are coordinating closely with the Metropolitan Police Bureau and the Narcotics Control Board to track CCTV footage throughout the area to identify the vehicle that delivered the drug package on June 22 and determine its connection to drug trafficking sources and where the shipment originated.
Regarding the earlier announcement stating a Grab rider delivered the package on June 22, Suriya clarified that information came from condominium management records. However, police have not fully verified this claim.
It is possible the heroin-containing package may have been sent through a different courier company, as packaging boxes can be purchased at regular shipping shops and then sent to recipients.
When asked whether the actual rider would face charges for not coming forward, Suriya stated that if the person was involved and intentionally concealed their role in the drug delivery, they would be guilty. However, if they come forward in good faith, provide complete documentation, and prove their innocence, they would face no charges. He appealed to anyone who knows the suspect to encourage them to come forward quickly.
Police have clear footage of the vehicle that delivered the drug package to the condominium and plan to release images to the public for tips. If the person continues to evade authorities, police will proceed with issuing an arrest warrant.
When asked whether Thai authorities can assist if Australian prosecutors drop charges due to insufficient direct evidence linking the case to international drug trafficking, Suriya said he does not want to look that far ahead at this stage. The flight attendant remains a suspect as she directly carried the drug shipment to Australia. Justice will depend on the completion of Australian authorities' proceedings first.
