British cops have today arrested four people in the UK who are due to appear in court later this month.
They have been charged with conspiracy to fraudulently evade the prohibition on exportation of a class A drug, the Lancashire Telegraph reports.
It comes after a Brit was caught smuggling crystal meth from Thailand.
George Wilson, 23, is facing a possible death penalty after being charged with trying to take 9.15kg of methamphetamine out of Bangkok’s international airport.
Cops swooped on a hotel in the Thai capital’s red-light area after tracking a drug gang’s movements.
A video shot by officers at the scene showed them detaining George and asking him what was in his bag.
He replied, “I don’t know,” as the police opened the case and looked under a pair of flip-flops and a white towel.
They found ten bags of Chinese tea, which concealed what appeared to be drugs.
The Brit insisted, “I don’t know what it is,” but he was arrested after the officers opened the bags and performed a test to prove the drug was methamphetamine.
Wilson, of High Wycombe, Bucks, who told officers he had been in Thailand for two weeks, was then photographed in handcuffs with eight Thai cops next to him.
Under Thai law, importing or exporting Category 1 narcotics such as methamphetamine carries the death penalty, although it is rarely used.
It comes after teenage drug mule suspect Bella Culley is fighting for her release after she was caught with £200,000 worth of drugs in Georgia on a flight from Thailand in May.
