Three arrested after vehicles intercepted with huge drugs haul

By The Nation

 

Police arrested three Hmong suspects and seized 1 million “yaba” pills, about 90 kilograms of crystal methamphetamine known  as “ice”, and 165kg of heroin in Chiang Rai province early Thursday morning, deputy national police chief Pol General Chalermkiat Sriworakhan told the press conference in neighbouring Chiang Mai province.

 

Police set up roadblocks after a tip-off that drug traffickers driving a Mitsubishi sedan and a Mitsubishi pick-up truck with Phayao-registered licence plates would transport drugs from the border district of Mae Sai district to a location further into the country. 

 

One checkpoint was set up at Ban Sala Cherngdoi Moo 6 and another was stationed at the nearby Suanpa village’s entrance in Mae Sai since late Wednesday.

That's a lot of drugs for one operation, well done to the police for that..........................;)

 

Seems that over the last few months they have been getting their act together, long may it continue.

They keep catching people transporting drugs but you never read about shutting down the problem  at the manufacturing level or stopping them from coming over the border (especially from Myanmar). Tackling the problem at its source will be far more productive.

You are right but such a huge seizure must be a very hard blow to those people at the source, imagine only 165kg of heroin and 1 000 000 yaba pills!
