According to a number of Thai media sources, on May 13, the Bang Kaew Police Station in Bangkok, Thailand, announced that the police arrested 39-year-old drug dealer Natapong on the evening of May 9 and seized 14 pieces of methamphetamine he was carrying. It is reported that after the drugs were packed in transparent plastic bags, they were placed in gray plastic bags with magnets, with a total weight of about 1.20 grams per bag and a total weight of 16.37 grams for 14 pieces.
It is reported that the case was due to the fact that the police received clues that Nataphumi placed the above-mentioned drugs in the ATM area in front of various convenience stores along King Kaeo Road, Bang Phi District, Samut Prakan, waiting for customers to come and pick them up, and then Natapong will go to the convenience store located at the intersection of Soi 43, so they immediately arranged for personnel to go to the above location to lurk, waited for about 9 hours and successfully waited for Nataphumi to come to Nataphum, and arrested him on the spot.
After his arrest, Natapong confessed to the police that he had previously hidden drugs in several convenience store areas, and when a staff member came to check on him, he would hide the drugs directly in the convenience store, hiding them in the shelves where jam and pet food were kept.
In addition, he also confessed that the above-mentioned drugs were purchased from Nanjie, who lives in Bangkok's Kongdi District, with whom she has known Nanjie for 5-6 years, and that the drugs were purchased at a price of 400 baht per gram and will be resold at a price of 800 baht per gram.
