Police on Tuesday arrested a suspected leading supplier of a major drug trafficking network in the South and seized about four million baht worth of illicit drugs.

Sakorn Kaewrod, 25, was apprehended after a 50-strong team of narcotics suppression unit and border patrol police raided his home in Kong Ra district in Phatthalung.

Officials searched the house and discovered 10 grammes of crystal methamphetamine, or "ice", 98 rounds of live ammunition for an M16 assault rifle and a carbine rifle and a bankbook containing records of transactions worth millions of baht.
