Police Launch Dawn Raids in Phuket, Arrest Six in Drug Crackdown

Phuket –
Police in Phuket carried out coordinated early morning raids on two communities in the city, arresting six suspects in connection with narcotics offenses.

Police told the Phuket Express that the operation was executed under search warrants issued by the Phuket Provincial Court.

At the first target location, a rented house in the Thai Mai community on Koh Sirey, officers arrested a 23-year-old man identified as “Nann.” Authorities seized 77 methamphetamine tablets at the scene. He now faces charges of possession of a Category 1 narcotic with intent to sell, as well as illegal drug use.

At the second location, a rented house in the Saphan Ruam community in Talad Yai subdistrict, police apprehended five individuals. Among them was a 39-year-old woman, “Aen,” wanted under an outstanding arrest warrant issued in December 2025 for conspiracy to commit serious drug offenses and trafficking methamphetamine for commercial purposes. The other four suspects were charged with illegal drug use.

All detainees, along with the seized evidence, were transferred to Phuket City Police Station for further investigation and prosecution.
