Anti-narcotics officers have arrested two women accused of helping international heroin smuggling operations following investigations linked to separate airport drug seizures.
The Office of the Narcotics Control Board (ONCB), working with customs, narcotics police and military agencies under the Airport Interdiction Task Force (AITF), announced the arrests on Saturday.
In the first case, officers arrested a Thai woman in Thanyaburi district of Pathum Thani under a court warrant. Investigators alleged she supplied a backpack used to conceal 1.4kg of heroin seized from a South Korean courier at an airport in May before a flight to Hong Kong.
