webfact Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Watermelon carrying pick-up overturns and driver flees scene - the reason soon becomes obvious Picture: Thai Rath Police were called to a bend in the road in Sakon Nakhon in the north east of Thailand after a pick-up carrying a load of watermelon overturned at 5 am. Locals came to lend their assistance first, but discovered that the driver was nowhere to be found. The reason for this soon became obvious - hidden in the back of the pic-up among the fruit was 400 kilos of compressed marijuana. Picture: Thai Rath Akat Amnuay police are investigating but said that it appeared that the driver had taken advantage of the easing of the curfew to make a delivery of drugs from the border hidden among the watermelons. The evidence was taken into the police station.

True but then they have to prove he was the one driving. Maybe he thinks he can make up some story that is believable about lending his car to someone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nausea Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Well, if he was purely a courier someone is not gonna be very happy.
