Thai police searched a flight attendant's apartment after heroin was seized in Australia.

Officers from the Office of the Narcotics Control Board (ONCB) searched the apartment of a Thai flight attendant in Bangkok after her detention in Melbourne, Australia. According to the Bangkok Post, the woman faces federal charges for attempting to smuggle premium-grade heroin. The search aimed to dismantle a larger drug trafficking network. Police reported that the flight attendant used her professional immunity to transport drugs across borders. The incident occurred at Melbourne Airport, where Australian customs officers discovered a significant quantity of heroin in her luggage. Thai authorities are cooperating with their Australian counterparts to clarify all circumstances of the case. This case is part of a large-scale anti-drug campaign in Thailand. Previously, police seized 2.2 million methamphetamine pills during a raid, as reported by Thansettakij. Additionally, two French citizens wanted by Interpol on suspicion of drug trafficking were arrested in Bangkok. Police also shut down a youth drug center in a Bangkok district where drugs were distributed among teenagers. During the operation, 728,000 methamphetamine pills were seized, highlighting the systemic nature of the problem. Authorities emphasize that combating drug trafficking remains a priority. In neighboring Malaysia, police arrested 51 men in raids linked to a "gay party" and seized drugs. These measures demonstrate a regional approach to fighting illegal trafficking. Thai law enforcement is also actively using technology to identify shell companies on islands that may serve as fronts for drug businesses. The flight attendant remains in custody in Australia, and her case will be heard in federal court. Thai police continue their investigation to identify all individuals involved in the smuggling. If found guilty, she faces a lengthy prison sentence under Australian law. Experts note that the use of airline personnel for drug transport is not uncommon and urge airlines to strengthen oversight of their employees. Thai authorities, in turn, promise to tighten security measures at airports and borders.
