Elephant tote bag heroin case: Third suspect arrested

14 Sept 02:25 Key points summarised by AI

Police apprehended "Nanthawat," the third suspect in a narcotics trafficking network linked to the TG cabin crew member’s drug case, in Ayutthaya province.
Nanthawat confessed to receiving six heroin-filled elephant tote bags, flushing the drugs down the toilet after learning of the initial arrest, and dumping the empty bags, which police later recovered with confirmed heroin residue.
This arrest follows the prior apprehension of "Uthai," who delivered drugs to the cabin crew member Meena, and another driver, further unraveling the intricate drug operation.
The broader investigation began with the arrest of TG cabin crew member Meena in Australia for heroin concealed in 12 elephant tote bags, with two other suspects, Arthit and Patsaporn, also arrested for allegedly sending similar parcels.
