Mueang Nong Khai police uncover a stash of heroin bars worth over 20 million baht hidden within innocuous Chinese ceramic doll statues.

 

At a press conference held on Monday, February 12, authorities revealed the seizure made at the First Thai–Lao Friendship Bridge, Nong Khai.

 

According to police reports, the alarming find unfolded when two Lao nationals arrived at the checkpoint in a six-wheel truck around 10.45am. Thai customs officers, suspicious of the contents inside boxes labelled as doll statues, initiated a thorough search.

 

Upon closer inspection using X-ray technology, officials were astounded to find more than 20 heroin bars cleverly concealed within the seemingly harmless figurines. The total weight of the illicit substance amounted to 7.6 kilogrammes, with an estimated value exceeding 20 million baht, reported Pattaya News.

I paid a Thousand dollars a kilo in factory sealed bags, Red Lion, Double Globe, in the 70s here. 

Are those the heroin bars on the table or stacks of 1000 baht notes?
