The Office of the Narcotics Control Board (ONCB) has sought warrants for the arrest of two Lao men suspected of using Thais, including a flight attendant arrested recently in Australia, to smuggle heroin to third countries.
If the Criminal Court approves the warrants, Thai officials can request the arrest and extradition of the pair from Laos right away, Areepak Ngernbamroong, the ONCB deputy secretary-general, said on Thursday.
