SURAT THANI - A Thai woman who has lived in Australia for over a decade would have been the receiver of tote bags with hidden heroin from a Thai stewardess had she not been arrested, according to the Office of the Narcotics Control Board (ONCB).
ONCB deputy director-general Areepak Ngernbamroong said in Surat Thani province on Monday evening that the Thai expatriate, operating under the alias “Dear”, was set to receive the 12 embroidered tote bags that landed a 26-year-old Thai airways stewardess in detention at Melbourne airport late last month.
