PHUKET: A sting involving the sale of ya ice methamphetamine valued at 3500 baht last night led Phuket police to a larger haul of drugs and weapons.
The cache was destined for sale to local Phuket high school and university students, police were told.
The arrest of Wirasak Nilawong, 24, led officers back to his room in Thalang where they discovered his girlfriend, Ketkeaw Bejangnara, 28.
In the couple's room at Baan Lipon, police also found 54.15 grams of ya ice, 649 ya bah tablets, a set of scales, drug-taking parephernalia, two hand-made thai pradit guns, several mobile telephones, a list of customers and a bank book for an account containing more than one million baht.
Khun Wirasak told police that he sold the drugs to local students. He was released from Phuket Prison earlier this year after serving a term for drugs offences.

For me its not the drugs that are the problem. The war on drugs is futile and will never be won.
But guns on the other hand are extremely worrying, so I am pleased to see that they are not on the street.
