Late on Friday nights, security personnel in Chiang Dao city of Chiang Mai seized 14 million rate pills and detained two drug couriers.

A delivery truck and a vehicle were seen by a combined group of police and soldiers traveling west through the Muang Ngai crossing in Chiang Dao.

The officers in Tambon Mae Na stopped the cars while conducting a research behind the Kadmuang Piangdao business. They found some compost sacks containing drugs hidden in the sleep of the delivery, Gen Narit Thawornwong, captain of the medication destruction unit, said on Saturday.

Thitiphong Kanin, 45, and Pradit Khaomun, 42, both native of Chiang Dao, were arrested and 14 million rate medications seized, said Gen Narit. The two cars were likewise seized.

The two gentlemen were turned over to third division of the Narcotics Suppression Bureau for legal actions.

The medicines had been smuggled from a northern frontier place in Chiang Dao, according to a police investigation, and they had been going to the country’s interior regions.
