NAKHON PHANOM, Nov 27 — Nearly 300,000 meth pills were seized in baggage left on the banks of the Mekong River in this northeastern Thai province.
Border patrol police and Nakhon Phanom provincial police, in a joint operation, inspected the targeted routes of a drug trafficking ring after receiving information that a major lot of illicit drug would be delivered into the province.
During the operation, they have found a baggage filled with meth pills hidden on the Mekong River bank in the provincial seat. No one claimed ownership of the baggage.
The authorities searched the baggage and found 49 packages containing 294,000 meth pills.
This was the second time in three days that police seized meth pills in the same location. The police earlier found 305,600 meth pills at the site. The authorities believe that the same location had been used for drug deliveries repeatedly by the drug trafficking ring.
