Police raided clinics linked to a female police doctor who allegedly sold date rape drugs across Bangkok.

Officers stormed two establishments in the Thai capital on June 12, following the arrest of Police Colonel Dr Anchulee Phetrat.

The medical practitioner was said to have used the names of 11 clinics to order stocks of alprazolam to be distributed to youths for illicit purposes.

Footage shows police sweeping into the Elite Clinic to question the staff. However, nurses said the clinic only provided beauty services and had no need for the drug, which is used as anxiety and depression medication. They also denied that Anchulee worked there.

Cops then converged on the Fresh Physiotherapy Clinic and found the suspect's name in a list of consultants affiliated with the clinic. However, no doctors were available to be interrogated.

Police said investigations into the case were ongoing.

Anchulee, who works at the Police General Hospital, had reportedly been stockpiling alprazolam at a cost price of 15 million baht (341,000 GBP) from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) since 2022.

She allegedly banked a staggering 80 million baht (1.8 million GBP) from the heavily marked up sales before being caught on June 10.

Authorities raided Anchulee's residence after the FDA flagged the anomalous transactions. They also seized hundreds of boxes of alprazolam in her police flat, where a suspected accomplice was found living in the government accommodation.

Officials said alprazolam, better known as Xanax, is classified as a category 2 and 4 controlled substance that only licensed medical professionals are allowed to prescribe.

The drug is used for anxiety treatment, though it is often abused for recreational purposes in Thailand, where it can be used to spike women's drinks as a date rape drug.
