The Thai police immediately arrested two British drug dealers

At the same time, the Thai police were able to detect and successfully arrest two British drug dealers in two different locations. Police Colonel Dulyapat Dejpornchayasit and 20 police officers raided a home in Chonburi province in Pattaya on Tuesday (August 20). The officers had been given the power to seek a warrant issued on Thursday, August 15, by the Pattaya Court under Court No. 63/2562.

Police colonel Dulyapat Dejpornchayasit and surrounded with his 20 police officers the house of the suspect before knocking on the door. A 24-year-old Thai woman named Cherman opened the door for the officers. Before the officers entered the house, they showed the search warrant to the young woman.

After searching the ground floor, they found 28-year-old Luke Timmins in the bedroom on the second floor. Luke was still in bed at the time, sleeping. He was finally awakened by the officials.

According to the Thai press, Luke received an arrest warrant from the British Department of Justice. The British had already warned nations around the world that Luke was wanted for drug trafficking.

In the further search of the house, the investigators found 4 bags of cocaine in Chermans handbag, which corresponded to a total of 3.71 grams of cocaine. In a closet, the investigators found another bag of cocaine weighing 1.11 grams. The drugs were seized by the officials as evidence.

The evidence was confiscated along with the house worth about 6 million THB, a Mitsubishi car, a Honda motorcycle, 3 savings accounts, 2 gold bracelets and a gold ring. Both Luke and Cherman were tested positive for cocaine use by urine analysts. Luke said at his interrogation that he had bought cocaine from a Thai on Walking Street in Pattaya for 2,500 baht per gram.

Luke is the son of Michael Timmins, who was imprisoned for six years after smuggling Mephedrone to Britain. From the mephedrone 30 kilograms of bath salts were produced, which is also known as the so-called zombie drug.

On the same day and at the same time, another team of police arrested 29-year-old Daniel Wood from England after being told that Daniel was selling drugs in Thailand. He was about to take his Thai wife to a temple in Maha Sarakham Province at the time of the arrest.

Daniel had no illegal items or drugs when he was arrested. However, he had already exceeded his visa in Thailand since 17 October 2016 at this time. Daniel also had an arrest warrant for drug smuggling into the UK. He flew to Thailand, and married a Thai woman here. He then worked with Luke, who sold his drugs in Pattaya City.

Both men are also associated with Adrian Matthews from MC Bandidos Gang in Pattaya. Adrian was arrested by customs in New Zealand after having found approximately $ 17 million in ice (methamphetamine) in October 2017.
