Sen Sgt Maj Hatthaporn Thongkhaobua of the Karon Traffic Police was on duty at a traffic light in Karon when he saw a white Isuzu pick-up truck moving from Karon toward Chalong Circle. The driver cruised right through a red light so the sergeant followed him. “After I flagged him down and searched him, we found 60 grams of ya ice (crystal methamphetamine), a gun and five bullets,” said Maj Hatthaporn. “The suspect, Kasemsan Keankam, 30, was charged with possession of a category 1 drug, possession of a weapon and ammunition without permission, and disobeying a red light,” he added. Kasemsan was later taken to Karon Police Station for further legal processing.
