PHUKET:-- Police have seized more than B2 million in methamphetamine (ya bah) pills, cash and two vehicles from a man who was stopped and searched during a routine stop-and-search in Srisoonthorn, Thalang, on Saturday (Mar 30).

The arrest and bumper haul seizure followed a routine search of a Toyota Hilux Vigo pickup truck being driven by 44-year-old Paisak Rodpai, from Tambon Khao Khao in Huai Yot District, in Trang province at standard police checkpoint in Soi Fakthong, Moo 5, Srisoonthorn, at about 10am.

Paisak told police that he was just delivering construction equipment, yet Lt Col Sachone Srising of the Thalang Police had his officers check the vehicle anyway.
