British Steroid Gang Apprehended In Pattaya By Dea And Thai Police

One hundred Drug Enforcement Administration (D.E.A.) officers, equipped with arrest warrants, in co-operation with Thai police, today arrested a British gang selling steroids illegally in Soi Chaiyapreuk, Pattaya, and seized assets worth over Bt 20 million.

Police Major General, Amaresrit Wattanawiboon, Commander of Office of the Narcotics Control Board (ONCB) who had been coordinating with Mr. Andre Kellum, an officer of the D.E.A, acknowledged that there was a gang of foreigners who were running a network selling steroids in Pattaya.

The police and D.E.A. officers, acting on arrest warrant no. 98/255, searched a two-story house in Pattaya New City Village, Soi Chaiyapreuk, Jomtien Beach Road. The police later arrested Mr. Edwin Richard Crawley (44) a British national who lives in the house, which he had used as the centre of operations for his business.

According to the police report, Mr. Edwin Richard Crawley originally opened a company called "Nutri Med. Co. Ltd." registered as an import-export company. However, police did not find any illegal items or incriminating evidence, only documents relating to the import and export of goods.

Another police team also searched a single house opposite and found Mr. Graisorn Tongrak, 31, the son-in-law of Mr. Edwin Richard Crawley, who was looking after the house for his father-in-law. Once again, police did not find any illegal items.

After that, the police took both suspects to search another building in the same soi, registered as a company called Vincent Centre Service Co. Ltd. operating a postal and utility bill payment service. Here, however, police found several empty bags of drugs, called “British Dragon” and 2,500 copies of steroid instruction sheets.

The D.E.A. officers took the steroids away for evidence. They also searched a warehouse behind the Nutri Med. company office, where they found and confiscated two machines used to pack steroids and also seized two land deed papers relating to the two houses, a Toyota car, a BMW R1200 RT motorbike, and 13 bank books which contained millions of baht; in total property worth about Bt 20 million.

A third group of police later arrested Mr. Ashley Vincent Livingston (45) British, and Mrs. Jirawan Livingston, 38, his wife, living at a house in Moo. 10, Soi Kow Noi, Pattaya Hill 1. According to the information police had received, they all belonged to the same gang, whose big boss was Edwin Richard Crawley.

At this house, the police did not find any evidence, but seized a land deed paper, a Honda and a Toyota car, jewellery, Bt 100,000 in cash, and six bank books, which had many tens of millions of baht in the accounts. Police Major General, Amaresrit Wattanawiboon, revealed that Thai police were originally notified by the D.E.A. that they had intercepted steroids, which had been delivered to America in plain envelopes and on investigation, discovered that the biggest operation was in Pattaya .

Mr. Edwin (the big boss) had been importing steroids from China through the Internet and then forwarding them to USA and Europe. On receipt, customers would send money to his account in Thailand. Some of the goods were sent to Pattaya and repacked in dolls or fruit, to be sent to Europe by parcel or in plain envelopes. Mr. Ashley had been worked with Mr. Edwin as his assistant, finding customers for him.

This operation had been running since 1999. It made him a millionaire, being able to afford to buy property in Pattaya worth Bt 20 million. Mr. Edwin was also a volunteer, helping charities in Pattaya, so he was well known among the high-society set. He is also the coach of a disabled weight lifting team, which has won many trophies.

Despite Mr. Edwin’s other good works, police arrested him and the other gang members, committing them for trial on charges of having imported, possessed and exported illegal drugs as well as not having paid tax. After a Thai trial, they will all be sent to America for further processing.

Steroids didn't kill Crawley. This investigation and prosecution killed Crawley. Absurd. Criminal. They need to decriminalize these substances now.

Yea to die by Pneumonia is a really shitty way to go. Infection, from the lungs, goes septic and you are in a miserable state the last couple of days...

Like James said, 47 is way to young to go.

That's what got Muppet man Jim Henson, too, I believe. Damn shame in this day and age, especially if he died in the states. No offense to anyone overseas, but I've had friends who had to go to emergency rooms abroad and they said it was a frightening experience.

And, no joke, that cop totally saw his opportunity to rip off Crawley's Charmin.



That's just low.

how'd he die hepatic disease?
