Nakhon Sawan:Highway police have successfully intercepted a drug trafficking gang on the Inburi-Chiang Mai highway near Takli district, Nakhon Sawan province, seizing over 300 kilograms of crystal methamphetamine.
According to Thai News Agency, the operation involved the interception of suspicious vehicles believed to be smuggling narcotics. Three vehicles, including pickup trucks and other cars, were identified as transporting drugs from Chiang Mai Province to Singburi Province, with the intention of distributing them to customers in central Thailand and Bangkok.

They were pursued to a dead end, at which point they abandoned their car and fled into a nearby deserted forest. A preliminary search of the vehicle uncovered the substantial quantity of methamphetamine. All involved individuals have been detained for questioning and will face charges of jointly distributing narcotics. Meanwhile, efforts to apprehend the escaped suspect are ongoing.
