Police hunt 'hooded man' linked to Air Mina's heroin bust

The segment begins by discussing the arrest of Air Mina for heroin smuggling, highlighting the significance of the case due to its international implications.

CCTV footage shows a hooded man delivering a package to Air Mina's condominium, which is believed to contain heroin.

More footage shows Air Mina bringing the package into her apartment, raising questions about her knowledge of its contents.

Information reveals Air Mina has traveled to Australia 14 times, suggesting frequent activity.

Air Mina's boyfriend closed his social media profiles after inquiring about CCTV footage at the condominium, claiming the delivered item was not as expected.

A timeline analysis suggests Air Mina might have been under investigation in Australia when her boyfriend inquired about the CCTV footage.

The focus shifts to whether Air Mina knew the package contained heroin, especially after it was opened and the heroin was found hidden in a bag.

The heroin, weighing 900 grams, was found packed in 12 separate pieces within a bag, leading to questions about how it was concealed.

Footage shows Air Mina driving to Suvarnabhumi Airport on June 24th, the day before her arrest.

CCTV shows Air Mina pushing multiple pieces of luggage, including the 'elephant bag' with hidden compartments, as she rushes to the airport.

Police identify the driver of the black car, 'Nong Pao,' who is being questioned as a witness.

While the driver has been identified, the hooded man who delivered the package remains at large.

Nong Pao, a rider, claims he was hired for 1,600 baht and was unaware of the package's contents. However, his past includes a life sentence for drug offenses.

Initial reports suggested the hooded man might be a foreigner, but his identity remains unconfirmed.

The black Toyota Yaris used in the delivery has been seized, and forensic teams are examining it for evidence.

Despite the examination, no traces of heroin were found in the car, suggesting it may have been cleaned.

The Narcotics Suppression Bureau (NSB) arrests a couple, Arthit and Thatsaporn, as part of the ongoing drug investigation.

Authorities are investigating whether Arthit and Thatsaporn are connected to Air Mina's heroin smuggling case.

The investigation references past cases involving heroin hidden in bedding and other items, potentially linked to Arthit.

Evidence suggests drugs may be smuggled from neighboring countries and distributed by Arthit.

The owner of the Toyota Yaris is identified as a village headman (Kamnan) in Ayutthaya province.

The Kamnan reveals the car was purchased for his nephew, Nong Pao, who uses it for ride-sharing services.

The Kamnan has been financially supporting Nong Pao and his mother, providing them with housing and assistance.

Nong Pao denies any involvement in the Air Mina case, stating he was merely picking up a ride-sharing customer.

The Kamnan insists that both he and his nephew are innocent and not involved in the drug smuggling operation.

The investigation will focus on financial records to determine the involvement of all parties.
