Thai police and army troops seized about four million methamphetamine tablets, shot dead one drug trafficker and arrested another in a shootout near a market in Muang district of the northern province of Chiang Rai late last night (Thursday).

 

Acting on a tipoff, that a large haul of methamphetamine had been smuggled from Myanmar and was about to be delivered by pickup truck to a temporary shelter in Muang district, before being transported further inland for distribution, a combined force of anti-narcotics police and troops from the Pha Muang Task Force was dispatched to an intersection near the airport to wait for the truck.

 

At about 22.30pm, the suspect truck, bearing a fake license plate, emerged from a detour road, heading towards the airport road intersection with the Phahonyothin Highway.

I vote the man arrested is allowed his freedom after swallowing all 4 million of the pills

After the 'Glock Rule' has been extended to whomever preys on others in this way, let's see 'The Singapore Rule' here for such drug trafficking. No 'holiday' in jail, but a terrifying walk to the rope.

 

Good job done by the RTP .

4 million meth pills is a large haul that would have caused a lot of damage to thai brains .

After the childcare massacre something had to be done .

They did it , keep on like this .

I think a lot of people like the idea of extra judicial killings. Personally I worry they are creating psychopaths. Thailand has had three mass killings, all perps were Army or police.
