A mysterious incident in Phrae province unfolded late evening on 17 April, when a motorbike was found crashed in a dry irrigation canal, with no rider in sight, but a stash of methamphetamine pills discovered at the scene.

 

At around 20:00, Pol. Lt. Col. Somkiat Kobkam, Deputy Investigation Inspector at Sung Men Police Station, received a report of a motorcycle crash on the road connecting Sung Men Hospital to Ban Ton via Phra Luang. The crash occurred near a railway construction site in Moo 5, Phra Luang Subdistrict, Sung Men District.

 

Rescue workers and local police officers from the Phra Luang checkpoint, part of a Songkran road safety operation, were quickly dispatched to the scene. They discovered a white Kawasaki Ninja motorbike lying overturned in the dry canal. Although there were traces of blood, no person was found nearby.

 

A shoulder bag was discovered close to the motorbike. Upon inspection, officers found a national ID card and two blue plastic sachets containing approximately methamphetamine pills. Both the motorbike and the drugs were seized as evidence.

 

Authorities believe the rider, likely injured in the crash, fled the scene under the cover of darkness to avoid arrest. Local witnesses reported seeing a young man climbing out of the canal and walking away hurriedly.

 

Police suspect the individual involved was using the Songkran festival period as an opportunity to traffic drugs. Investigators are now working to identify and locate the suspect, believed to be the owner of the ID card found in the bag.

Genius for sure.  Flees the scene but leaves his ID card along with drugs.
