george Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Drug bust at Phuket Airport CRASH LANDING: Ms Pojjanee points to the stash of ya bah pills allegedly in her possession when she landed at Phuket Airport on Monday. PHUKET CITY: -- A Thai woman was caught at Phuket International Airport on Monday trying to smuggle a large stash of ya bah (methamphetamine) pills onto the island, police say. Pojjanee Thuptim, 31, was caught with 1,330 ya bah (methamphetamine) pills stashed in a thigh support of the type used for sports injuries, a source at the Phuket branch of the Narcotics Suppression Bureau (NSB) said. Ms Pojjanee, from Kanchanaburi province, flew into Phuket from Suvarnabhumi Airport in Bangkok at around 3:30pm. Thinking Ms Pojjanee was acting suspiciously, airport officials notified the NSB. Phuket NSB chief Sutthirat Thojumpha rushed to the airport to oversee the search and subsequent arrest of Ms Pojjanee. A source at the NSB told the Gazette Ms Pojjanee was probably just acting as a delivery agent for a drug smuggling ring. NSB agents will investigate further and try to bring the ringleader to justice, the source said. -- Phuket Gazette 2009-08-12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
