Police seize large cache of narcotics during weeklong operation

[snoop1130]

 

Thai anti-narcotics police have seized large quantities of drugs, including 19 million meth pills, and arrested 15 suspects in operations in northern and north-eastern provinces between March 28th and April 4th.

 

Pol Gen Chinnapat Sarasin, the national deputy police chief, said today (Wednesday) that the 15 suspects in custody are members of six drug trafficking networks, responsible for smuggling illegal narcotics from the north and northeast to central and Thai southern provinces.

 

He said that most of the drugs were concealed in cars and, in practice, police cannot search every car and focus instead on those about which they have received information or tip-offs.

To be disposed of carefully of course.

So basically they would search nothing on their own investigations ? Speaks volumes
