Pattaya:Police engaged in a high-stakes chase of a crystal meth dealer at a gas station in Pattaya, culminating in the suspect’s arrest.
According to Thai News Agency, the Chonburi Provincial Police orchestrated a sting operation targeting a methamphetamine trafficking ring. The operation was set to intercept a drug delivery at a gas station on Chaiyapruek Road. As the suspect arrived, he detected the police presence and attempted to escape.
Officers intervened by blocking his path, prompting the suspect to reverse his white Isuzu D-Max pickup truck into the gas station’s office, breaking the windows in an effort to flee. Police responded by shooting at the vehicle’s tires, successfully immobilizing the truck and apprehending the suspect. The suspect is now set to face prosecution, while further investigations are underway to dismantle the trafficking network.
