Thai customs officials seized about eight tonnes of frozen pork, worth about 1.6 million baht, from two trucks in Kantharalak district of the north-eastern province of Maha Sarakham yesterday (Wednesday).

 

According to the customs investigation and suppression unit based in the north-eastern region, officials received a tipoff that two trucks, one with an Ubon Ratchathani license plate and the other from Si Sa Ket, would be delivering a substantial shipment of frozen pork, smuggled into Thailand from the Lao People’s Democratic Republic, to a customer in Maha Sarakham.

 

A team of customs officials was dispatched to Kham Riang sub-district, where the smuggled pork was supposed to be delivered to the customer. When the two trucks appeared, customs officials at a checkpoint searched them and found the pork.

Why not follow them to the destination and get the customer too, or is that difficult?

Why do you want to apply logic? You know that never happens.
