With Line, mobile device users can keep in touch, trade distinctive stickers, track their favorite brands and find great shopping deals.
In fact they can also maintain a grip on their narcotics syndicate from behind bars, a little-known feature until Bangkok police announced the arrest of two teen drug dealers Friday who sourced methamphetamines from an inmate at a high-security prison.
Natdanai Sangpetcharat and Siwapon Ruadraew, both 19, were arrested in the capital’s Prawet district, and police said they found 76,000 speed pills, nearly 30 grams of crystal meth, a couple of pistols and various ammunition at their nearby residence, the Bangkok Post reported.
The pair reportedly confessed to hooking up drug buys via Line from “Ton,” an inmate at Bangkok’s Klong Prem Central Prison. Ton would direct them to one of his partners outside the prison for them to complete the deal, then the boys would sell them on the streets of Prawet.
Ton did not sell the guns, however. Instead they bought the Glock and Thompson pistols on Facebook, police Col. Watcharapong Damrongsri said.
