Singaporean Man Arrested in Thailand for Selling E-Cigarette Liquid Mixed with Drugs
A 34-year-old Singaporean man, Yao Yuheng, was arrested in an undercover operation in Thailand for selling and possessing drugs. He was found to be in possession of 90 pots of electronic cigarette liquid mixed with methamphetamine and ketamine.
According to the Thai newspaper Khaosod, Yao was identified as a Singaporean who lived in the Bang Bo district in Samut Prakan Province. A photocopy of what appears to be a Singaporean pink IC was seized as evidence by the police.
Yao was caught at Major Hollywood, a mall located at 35 Ramkhamhaeng Road in Lat Phrao District, Bangkok. The police went undercover as buyers and busted his operation.
Yao was charged with the distribution and possession of serious Category 1 narcotics and possession of Category 2 narcotics for sale. In Thailand, narcotics are classified into five categories, with Category 1 being the most dangerous and including drugs like heroin.
This incident highlights the importance of law enforcement agencies working together to combat drug trafficking and possession. It also serves as a warning to individuals who engage in illegal activities, including drug trafficking, that they will be caught and prosecuted.
The incident has sparked concerns about the growing problem of drug abuse and trafficking in Southeast Asia. It is essential for governments and law enforcement agencies to work together to address this issue and protect their citizens from the harmful effects of drugs.
