Authorities in Suphan Buri have arrested a man known as 'Bank Sala Khao' for drug trafficking and consumption after receiving reports from local residents.

On November 10, 2026, administrative officials and security personnel in Suphan Buri province conducted an operation in the Sala Khao sub-district following reports of illegal drug distribution. Acting on complaints from the local community, authorities identified a suspect, identified as 'Bank Sala Khao,' who attempted to evade officers by retreating into his residence. During the encounter, the suspect was observed placing a wallet near a parked motorcycle. Upon inspection, officials discovered illicit substances inside the wallet and the motorcycle.
