Authorities working with narcotics found 40 plates of cocaine totaling 14.8 kilograms hidden in two slushed-drink dispensers being delivered to Taiwan.

The two beverage containers were packaged for distribution by weather to Taiwan, according to Pol Lt Gen Phanurat Lukboon, secretary-general of the Narcotics Control Board. 20 plates of heroin were discovered in each machine.

He predicted that Taiwan’s cocaine business may cost about 100 million ringgit.

Prin Mekanandha, NCB chairman of cocaine law enforcement, described a situation as being prepared to apply for a permit to arrest a suspect in the case. Because it required special equipment, they also identified the facility where the drug dispensers were altered to suppress the medication.

” They carefully replaced the turbines with the medication, in a way that the jars ‘ normal weight remained intact”, he said.

Police did not say where or how the drug delivery was intercepted, saying it may interfere with the research. &nbsp,
