I would say that have 20KG of meths would have made the use of the word 'alleged' a bit superfluous

Breaking Bad for these guys!

I highly suspect that my taxi driver last night had been one of their customers, holding my seat as he sped down Sukhumvit running red lights. I got home fast but that strange deodorant he had used inside the cab lingered.

I wonder how many years they'll get for this. Assuming they are guilty, of course.

20kg bust to divert attention from the 2 ton shipment that travelled smoothly

20Kg's.  They can't be far from the manufacturers.  I'm sure they all have some interesting phone records to sift through.

 

Unless the exchange was taking place at the gas station, why would three be transporting?  That would mean two of the three are taking a risk for nothing.  They could have easily followed.  Where are the guns?  You don't transport and / or exchange 20Kg's without being armed. 

 

I wonder if the three arrested include a buyer and seller, or they were all just the sellers?  If just the sellers, why not wait for the exchange and arrest the lot of them?

20kg were turned in as evidence. Wonder how many kg got "lost"

I quickly scanned the article looking for the 'information received' phrase.  Plod never achieve anything on their own merits but depend on informants which usually means rival dealers.
