Spanish man arrested in Lampang in connection with big UK cocaine case

Heavily armed drug cops arrested a 36 year old Spanish man at a noodle shop in downtown Lampang at the weekend.

A warrant for the arrest of Francesco Jesus Gutierrez Marcos had been issued in Thailand on Friday following representation from UK authorities.

Marcos is alleged to be a member of a five person gang that imported 513 kilos of cocaine into the UK.

The UK authorities said that he fled to Thailand after the bust at the end of January this year.
