One of the motorists was just married, according to authorities who discovered more than 5 million meth tablets being transported to Bangkok from Prachin-Buri state.
A significant northern cocaine gang member was arrested on Saturday after he had collected a sizable amount of meth tablets from Amnat Charoen and attempted to transport them to a chokepoint in Pathum Thani, just outside of Bangkok.
Police were informed by a mole involved in the operation that a fleet of three vehicles, including two alert vehicles, would be used to transport the pull on Tuesday.
The crew set off on Thursday in the Si Maha Phot area of Prachin Buri, but waiting police immediately discovered them as they were spotted. The wagon attempted to speed off, but it collided with a policeman car, making its driver, a 22-year-old man, only identified as Men, to be arrested.
The alert vehicles were able to leave.
5.14 million rate medications were discovered in Men’s hatchback in dark bags. After discovering a 9mm handgun on him, he was charged with the transfer of Category 1 cocaine and unregistered possession of a rifle.
The driver, who was interrogated by the police, claimed that he had been working with the crew for about six times and that he had been receiving between 30 and 50 Baht per trip. The think added that he had just tied the knot on May 3.
Authorities claimed that the caravan was a member of a significant group operating in the Northeast and that it was in line with the prime minister’s policy to rid the country of narcotics networks.
