Trang Drug Network Dismantled Following Bombing Investigation
Thai authorities have arrested six individuals and seized over 21 million baht in assets linked to a drug trafficking network connected to a series of bombings in Trang province.
On October 29, 2026, a joint operation involving the Central Investigation Bureau (CIB), the Office of the Narcotics Control Board (ONCB) Region 9, and Trang provincial police successfully targeted a major drug network led by a suspect identified as Santisuk. According to reports from Khaosod Online, the operation spanned six locations across Mueang Trang, Na Yong, Huai Yot, and Kantang districts. Authorities arrested six individuals, including three suspects wanted on active warrants—two specifically linked to explosive-related charges and one for methamphetamine distribution. During the raids, officials seized 1.15 million baht in cash and froze assets totaling approximately 21.3 million baht. Investigators have linked this network to 11 separate bombing incidents targeting residential properties in the province. For residents and visitors, this development highlights ongoing law enforcement efforts to address organized crime and public safety concerns in the region. While the immediate arrests have disrupted the network's operations, authorities are continuing to trace financial trails to identify and apprehend the masterminds who remain at large. Further updates are expected as the investigation into the broader criminal organization proceeds.
