Thai police seize ketamine and heroin suspected to be trafficked to Taiwan

Police seized 300 kilograms of ketamine and 228 kilograms of heroin in a series of raids in Bangkok and Nonthaburi, a suburb just outside the city. Police suspect the drugs were awaiting shipment to Taiwan. The Thai Narcotics Suppression Bureau teamed up with Taiwan’s Central Criminal Investigation Bureau for the operation.

Yesterday, police raided a warehouse in Nonthaburi, seizing 300 kilograms of ketamine. The bust led to another raid at a home in Bangkok’s Huai Khwang district where officers seized 228 kilograms of heroin. Police are still looking for the homeowner.

Officers also arrested 29 year old Saowapha Nasalee on charges of possessing illegal substances with intent to sell. She was allegedly hired to pack the drugs before shipment.
