Big Pre-trial Arrest!

On July 26 at 13:00, a seizure related to a major illegal drug trafficking case was carried out on Phuket Square. "Big Rai," the head of the group combating drug business, announced that 9.5 million LSD tablets were seized, which were planned for distribution in Bangkok. This operation was supported by the police and continues to expand. According to the Bangkok Post, other seizures related to illegal drug trafficking had been conducted on Phuket previously. For instance, last month a woman was arrested for killing her mother-in-law, and a young couple was arrested for selling counterfeit cigarettes. These events highlight the seriousness of the drug business problem on the island. However, Operation Big Rai is a significant step in combating the spread of LSD. The group works closely with local police and continues to expand its operations to identify and arrest criminals. It was also reported that several other arrests had been made on Phuket related to various crimes. For example, last month a German tourist was arrested for stealing money at a spa salon, and a Russian tourist was arrested over a viral video involving pop-up sex. These events indicate that active operations against various types of crime are being conducted on the island. Meanwhile, Thaiger reported the arrest of four foreign tourists with marijuana at Phuket Airport. These cases also highlight the scale of the illegal drug trafficking problem on the island. Overall, Operation Big Rai is an important step in combating the spread of LSD and other drugs. The group continues to actively work to ensure the safety of tourists and local residents.
