Tha Chana police chief Chutiphon Khemanuwong was pictured at Wing 7 base in Surat Thani receiving into his custody two suspects in a drugs case.

 

They were Songsit or "Joe" 28, charged with running drugs and Hattapong, 32, charged with aiding and abetting a fugitive. 

 

Songsit and a man called Theeraphat had been involved in a police chase on Route 41 heading south in Surat Thani at the end of June.

 

Their vehicle overturned and they fled in the night. 

 

They were then helped in a convoluted attempt to head north on private and public transport in an effort to cross over a natural border to Myanmar in the Mae Sai area. 

 

Theeraphat made it and is still being sought. 

 

Daily News reported that it was a big batch that police found in the overturned vehicle - 1,393,600 pills of Ya Ba (methamphetamine mixed with caffeine) and seven kilos of crystal meth.
