Kanske inte så stort beslag men rätt annorlunda sätt att gripa smugglaren
Thai police squad goes undercover in drag to arrest 'methamphetamine supplier'
Thai police have arrested a suspected methamphetamine dealer using a set of novel disguises.
Instead of pretending to be dealers or buyers of drugs, five male cops and one female officer dressed up as an all-woman dance troupe to approach their target during a street dance festival in the Thai province of Lopburi.
The cops caught the alleged dealer, Mekha Fa-wap-wap, with more than 50 methamphetamine pills and 200 plastic bags used to store and sell drugs.
On top of this, a mobile phone that was allegedly used to coordinate an illicit gambling operation was also found.
The cops all posed for a photo in brightly coloured dresses behind the seated suspect at a police station in the district of Tha Luang.
Cops shared the image online following last Friday's arrest with the caption: 'We didn't want to go out and arrest him, it's a waste of costume rental.'
Earlier this year,
Thai police officers disguised themselves in a dragon costume to arrest a suspect accused of stealing valuable Buddhist artefacts during Lunar New Year celebrations in Bangkok.
Officers hid inside the red costume while responding to reports of a burglary at a senior police officer's home in the city's suburbs.
