A team of officers led by Kamala Police Chief Lt Col Pramuan Jaikratok together with Phuket Tourist Police Lt Teerapong Torarit arrested Russian man Viktor Dvinskii, 27, and his 22-year-old Ukranian female companion at 2am yesterday (Jan 18) at the popular beach club .
Police seized from the pair two ecstasy pills, ten bags of cocaine with a total weight of 14.44 grams, 16.66g of marijuana and an iPhone X.
The arrests came after police received a tip-off from beach club staff that a foreigner was selling drugs to customers.
Plain-clothed officers went to the venue to carry out a stake out and soon noticed that the man who staff had reported, Viktor, frequently went to the toilet.
Police approached Viktor and carried out a search to discover him in possession of cocaine.
Officers then checked Viktor’s mobile phone and found a picture of his girlfriend showing her sitting at a table with marijuana on it.
Viktor admitted that he had more drugs stored at his rental house so police went and carried out a search and found drugs hidden in a sofa and suitcase and also lying on the table.
Police also found US$2,400 (B61,248) hidden in various places in the house.
Viktor and Berezina were taken to Kamala Police Station where they were charged with possession of Category 1, 2 and 5 drugs with an intent to sell.
Repeated calls to beach club representatives for comment by The Phuket News today (Jan 19) went unanswered.
