Police seize cocaine worth 2 million baht hidden in bread buns
Three women arrested in Bangkok over alleged delivery drug scheme.
Bangkok police seized cocaine worth about 2 million baht hidden inside bread buns, after a complaint about the baked goods being covered in ants outside a condominium.
Officers found about 650 grammes of cocaine in 400 packets at the On Nut area condo. Police said the delivery routine involved large quantities of buns left outside residents’ rooms, where the packages became infested with ants.
The alleged operation used a shift system in which gang members worked 15-day stretches. Police said they stuffed cocaine inside buns and handed the packages to delivery riders about 20 times a day.
Three women were arrested. Police arrested Chanyanut, 29, at the condominium, later followed by Jariyawadee, 25, in Ramkhamhaeng in Suan Luang district, and Narissara, 43, in Watthana.
Police said Chanyanut admitted she had been selling cocaine this way for two years without drawing attention. She allegedly told police the ringleader was a Nigerian living outside Thailand, and that each gang member was paid 30,000 baht per 15-day shift.
The investigation is ongoing.
