CHIANG RAI, Jan 10 (TNA) – Thai authorities have arrested
a man along with 300 kilograms of crystal methamphetamine or “ice” in
northernmost Chiang Rai province.
While attempting to smuggle the drugs from Myanmar into
Thailand on Thursday, two men on a pick-up truck refused to stop at a security
checkpoint on a border highway in Mae Sai district on Thursday.
In a hot pursuit that followed, the driver lost control of
the vehicle and overturned it.
Officers from the Pha Muang Taskforce found only the
passenger unconscious and ice drug in 12 sacks inside the truck.
The smuggling attempt is believed to be operated by a major
drug syndicate.(TNA)
