Bangkok: "Police officer with a thousand faces" disguised as a monk arrests gamblers and drug dealers. Nakhon Nayok's "Good Police Officer To," a provincial investigator known for his "many-faced" tactics, last time disguised himself as a monk for three days and three nights to arrest gamblers illegally playing dice at funerals. This time, after several days of ambushing drug traffickers, he apprehended two suspects and seized 23.52 grams of crystal methamphetamine and over 2,600 methamphetamine pills.
According to Thai News Agency, Pol. Col. Teeraphan Banditohiranchot, Superintendent of the Investigation Division of Nakhon Nayok Provincial Police, along with his investigation team, arrested two suspects: Mr. Sekhasan or "Kae" Perinkul, 49 years old, and Ms. Atchara Rangabthuk, 31 years old, in the parking lot in front of Lotus's Ban Na branch. They then expanded the investigation to search their residence in Ban Na Subdistrict, Ban Na District, Nakhon Nayok Province.
Following a tip-off that Mr. Kae was involved in drug trafficking in the area, Police Colonel Theeraphan personally investigated the matter, monitoring the suspect's behavior and observing him for several days. On July 27, 2026, at approximately 6:00 PM, officers observed Mr. Kae leaving his house on a motorcycle with a woman. They then apprehended him and found drugs concealed on his person. A subsequent search of his residence yielded two bags of crystal methamphetamine weighing approximately 23.52 grams, 2,637 methamphetamine pills, and 11,000 baht in cash.
Initially, charges were filed against Mr. Sekhasan or "Kae," 49 years old, for selling a Category 1 narcotic (methamphetamine) with intent to sell, while Ms. Achara was charged with consuming a Category 1 narcotic (methamphetamine).
