Thai police 'Ice' move by two Malaysians to smuggle 282kg of methampetamine

BANGKOK: Thai police "iced" a daring move by two Malaysians to use a land route to smuggle methampetamine (ice) into Malaysia
when they seized a 282kg consignment at the Sadao Immigration Checkpoint on Tuesday.
The suspects, aged 37 and 59, were arrested at the checkpoint about 5pm, following information from the Malaysian police.
Each man was ferrying 175kg and 107kg of drugs, respectively, in the rear of their vehicles.
Thai police chief Pol-Gen Chakhtip Chaijinda said the two arrests bring the total number of Malaysians detained for drug smuggling over the past week to 23.
On April 23 and 24, Thai police detained 21 Malaysians linked to a drug syndicate, at several locations in Thailand, seizing 226kg of "ice" and 8kg of heroin.
The two Malaysian men were paraded during yesterday's press conference at the Thai Narcotics Suppression Bureau here. Also present was Bukit Aman's Narcotics director Datuk Mokhtar Mohd Shariff. — Bernama
