Biggest drug haul this year
IN the biggest drug seizure this year, Army-trained rangers early this morning (August 4, 2018) seized 4.8 million methamphetamine pills and 987 kilograms of crystal meths (better known as ‘Ice’) from two pick-up trucks in the northern Thai province of Chiang Rai, the Thai-language daily Matichon reported.
The two vehicles made a sudden U-turn upon seeing the rangers manning a roadblock around 2.30 a.m. After a brief chase, the two pick-up trucks plunged into a roadside ditch.
The two drivers are ethnic Hmong men hired by traders to deliver the drugs at a meeting point on the outskirts of the northern Thai province.
