According to reports from the LaMaing Area Police Station, Last Friday January 15, a seizure of illegal drugs took place in MawtKaNin Village Tract’s Thar Yar Village, in Ye Township, Mon State.
“After we got some information, we searched a home and found 65 illegal pills. Two individuals were arrested and are being prosecuted according to the law,” said Deputy Chief Police Nyan Lin from the LaMaing area Police Station.
According to the police, Daw Boke, approximately 55 years old, who lives in Thar Yar village, was arrested along with Bo Bo (ka) Kyaw Bo Bo, approximately 39 years old, who lives in Mawt Ka Nin village. Both have been charged under section 19(K)/ 21 of the criminal procedural code MY(P) 3/2021.
The Administrator from Aung Mingalar ward, in Ye Township, Ko Ba Min said, “I want to see arrests of the major drug dealers. In the past, if you wanted to use these drugs, you had to spend a lot of money. Recently, you can spend just 3 and 4 thousand kyats, and easily get these drugs. Kratom leaves are used for traditional celebrations in our community, but it is now a huge burden for us.”
