Police seize 318kg of ‘ice’ from pickup but driver escapes

Highway police on Thursday intercepted a pickup truck and seized 318 kilograms of crystal meth or "ice" in Nakhon Ratchasima province.

The pickup came from another northeastern border province along the Mekong River and was being driven towards the central province of Lop Buri for eventual dispatch to the South.
Following a tip-off that a large batch of narcotics would be transported through Nakhon Ratchasima, highway police set up a checkpoint on the Dan Khun Thod-Chai Badan Road in Dan Khun Thod district to look out for the vehicle that fit the description.
