[THAI] Largest drug haul in 5 years; Top smuggler escapes

Largest drug haul in 5 years; Thai police now seek top smuggler who escaped custody in Chiang Mai
October 3, 2010 - mcot.net

BANGKOK -- After capturing a major Southeast Asian drug smuggler and confiscating 36 kilos of compressed heroin -- Thailand's largest drug haul in five years -- the country's police lost their prize detainee at the scene of the crime Saturday and now must deal with a significant loss of face as well as the suspect.

Thailand has set up a top level investigation committee to probe how the key drug smuggler was able to escape after being apprehended and taken into custody earlier, Justice Minister Pirapan Salirathavibhaga said Sunday.

Mr Pirapan told a press conference that police are hunting for 41-year-old Prida Takulprida who escaped while police were searching his house in the northern province of Chiang Mai’s Fang district on Saturday.

Details on how he could manage to escape while border patrol police officers escorted him to search for guns he cached in an orchard were not available as more than 100 border patrol police were searching to re-arrest him, Mr Pirapan said.

Mr Prida and four alleged accomplices – two men and two women – were nabbed early Saturday by plainclothes police and US Drug Enforcement Authority gents posing as drug buyers in Fang district, Mr Pirapan said.

He said 36 kilogrammes of compressed heroin worth more than Bt20 million in Thailand and about Bt220 million in the United States were seized  from Mr Prida and his accomplices.

The seizure of the compressed heroin, according to Mr. Pirapan, was the largest in the past five years.

Mr Prida is a major narcotics smuggler and also a significant financial support for Wa ethnic rebels in Myanmar, Mr Pirapan added.

I know.  "Cmon guys...lets think about this..."  Money changes hands...nobody knows.
