Police later learned that the 192,000 amphetamine pills and 3 kilograms of methamphetamine powder was to be distributed in Nam Phong as well as Nong Ruea, Chum Phae and Ban Phai districts.

 

Police said they had received a tip-off about the suspect acting suspiciously and later spotted him taking a black plastic bag into a sugarcane field. Police later found the drugs hidden in the field.

 

During interrogation, Sukree said he had got the drugs from a Laotian acquaintance. Police believe drug trade in Khon Kaen has picked up because there are no checkpoints.
