Police seize 500,000 “yaa baa” pills from overturned pickup truck in Phichit

 

 

Rescue workers accidentally stumbled on a substantial haul of methamphetamine, or “yaa baa” pills as they arrived at the scene of a road accident, on a provincial highway in Po Pratabchang district of Thailand’s northern province of Phichit, on Wednesday.

 

They immediately alerted the police when they found one of the injured, later identified as Sgt Major Nawin Pandum, a soldier attached to the third infantry battalion based in Chiang Rai province, trying to remove two burlap bags from an overturned pickup truck, apparently in an attempt to conceal them in roadside bushes.

 

Police at the scene found 500,000 methamphetamine tablets in the bags. Nawin later allegedly admitted to the police that he was hired by a drug trafficker to deliver one million yaa baa pills to two customers in the central region.

He was too upset to speak about his delivery being over-turned...

He was paid to deliver a million pills, but only 500,000 were seized? So the first chunk arrived at the customer already or what?
