NONTHABURI, June 8 (TNA) – Police arrested four men for allegedly possessing 3.5 million methamphetamine pills and suspected them of actively trafficking illicit drugs in Nonthaburi and Pathum Thani provinces.
The Provincial Police Region 1 said the speed pills were found in sacks when police arrested the four suspects including Ekarat Homnan. They were believed to be members of a big narcotic racket in Nonthaburi and Pathum Thani.
