Eight drug smugglers run off into the night - but authorities get their hands on 380 kgs of marijuana

[webfact]

Picture: INN

 

INN reported that officers from the Mekong Riverine Unit, local police and other units staked out the river in the area of the village of Ban Lao Nat in Nakhon Phanom on Saturday night.

 

They had received a tip that a boatload of drugs was being brought across from a "neighboring country". 

 

This is Laos, notes Thaivisa. 

 

The searchlights were out and identified a suspect boat with 6-8 men onboard. 

 

After docking on the Thai side every one of them managed to escape into the darkness because of their "local knowledge" said INN.

 

The authorities put this minor mishap behind them safe in the knowledge that they now had 380 packets of compressed marijuana "taken in as evidence". 

 

Each pack weighed in at a kilo.

With the headline quoting 380kg and the photo showing a haul of 320kg, I guess 60kg has already been sold!

Got a good deal ????????

Waiting for the correction that the haul was 380 pounds instead of 380 kilogrammes; somewhere the reward has to come from ????

With all the free weed they get they should make their THC oil stronger and better ! It's so bad that I need 5ml a day to feel it !

"Boss we got 580 kgs of ganja"........"How many?"..............."480 kgs I said"............."What?"........."I said we confiscated 380 kgs of ganja".  "Ok lets make it a round 320 for convenience sake!

"taken in as evidence". 

Already compressed, and in sale size bags, how convenient.

What was the size of the craft that carried the goodies? They get that as well?

380 kilos of compressed buffalo <deleted> would be more accurate.
