A bungling Thai drug dealer who sent text messages goading police to apprehend him has been arrested with dozens of amphetamine pills, a local police officer said on Thursday.

The man, who is 24, was caught on Wednesday night in a town in north-east Thailand, after police received several messages challenging them to make an arrest, Major Viriyaphab Wangprom of the local police said.

The texts, apparently sent in anger after a number of his gang had been caught by police, read 'come and arrest me, I am in Laos', a neighbouring country where the man is believed to have picked up his drugs.

'During an investigation he confessed that he and an accomplice sent several messages to police mobile phones because they were angry that several of his traffickers had been arrested,' Maj Viriyaphab told AFP. The man was charged with drug trafficking offences after being caught with 90 amphetamine tablets in his possession.
