By The Nation

 

 

Troops and police said they foiled an attempt to smuggle an estimated 12 million methamphetamine pills via Lampang on Tuesday evening.

 

Actings on a tip-off, police and troops at a checkpoint in Lampang's Mae Prik district stepped up truck checks passing the checkpoint on Tuesday.

 

At 6:30pm, the authorities said they checked furniture onboard a truck driven by Surasak Phanpan, 47, of Chiang Rai's Pa Daed district.

 

The check found that each of 30 document cabinets had four plastic bags and each bag contained about 400,000 meth pills.

 

The driver was arrested and police would try to find who hired him to smuggle the drugs.

"The driver was arrested and police would try to find who hired him to smuggle the drugs."

I suspect they already know that,someone gave them the tip off,so why not whom they

belong to,next they need to know the final destination of the drugs, good job the Police.

I know maths was never the Thais strongest point but ( 400.000 x 4 ) x 30 = 48.000.000

I think they mean 400,000 in each cabinet.probaly enough to keep Singapore happy for a couple of months.the busts seem to be getting bigger every week which goes to show the law isn't doing its job and the problem is only getting bigger.please let's have no calls out for this horrible drug to be legalised.its a #$%¥ing poison.

The seizure should never had been made public until after the police did a controlled delivery to the intended destination and arrested the recipients of the drugs.
