At 2pm yesterday, Metropolitan police arrested three men after they found 4.5 million methamphetamine pills and 60 kilograms of crystal meth in the men’s possession.
During the raid at an apartment on Soi Phokaew in the Bueng Kum district, police also discovered four guns and several rounds of ammunition. The three suspects told police that they were only hired to watch over the drugs.
