Green-and-Purple Piddle
Puzzles Police
PHUKET TOWN: A
drug-test raid on restaurants and karaoke bars early yesterday
morning along Wanich Rd produced 12 positive purple tests – and one
new green-and-purple result that police had not seen before.
While the 79 people
who were tested went about their business as usual today, police
puzzled over the unusual sample.
“It was quite
weird,” said Pol Capt Akanit Danpitaksat, who made the raids with
Pol Col Paween Pongsirin, Phuket Town Police Station’s
Superintendent, and 30 officers soon after midnight. “It separated
into two colors – green and purple – which the Phuket Public Health
Office [PPHO] called ‘an emulsion’.”
Police speculate
that it may indicate a new type of illegal drug but, as with all the
tests, full results in a week may also show it was the result of
some perfectly legal medication.
Capt Akanit listed
the raided venues as Nong Porn, Ruang Khao, Nong Jame, Poomtawan,
Kanokporn, Pintida, Nong On, Nong Pu, Fonthip, Song Saow, Nidnoy,
Thewa, Pink 2002, Sam Dao, Nong Sai and Karaoke 2003.
Both customers and
staff at the venues were involved in the testing.
A PPHO staffer told
the Gazette that the urine test kit was sensitive to chemicals in
the amphetamine (ya bah) group but was also sensitive to some legal
medication. “People with purple urine haven’t necessarily used
illegal drugs,” the officer said.
