A MAJOR drug trafficker with three warrants issued for his arrest was shot dead in a clash with police at his house Nakhon Si Thammarat during which he flung a grenade at them, TV Channel 7 said this afternoon (Mar. 6).
A Provincial Police Region 8 team found out that the unidentified drug dealer with three arrest warrants issued by Thung Song Provincial Court was hiding at a house in Phipun district and moved in to search it.
When the suspect saw that the police team had surrounded his house he fought back with gunfire erupting after he threw a grenade at them but in the end he was shot dead.
Upon inspecting the house police found that the suspect had a pistol and three grenades with him. Aside from the grenade he flung at them he had pulled the pin of the second one which did not explode with the third unexploded one lying near him.
Also found hidden in the house was a large quality of drugs.
