Today Hat Yai police arrested a tricky truck driver who attempted to hide the stench of 308 kilograms of marijuana with the even smellier odor of durians.

Early this morning, police captured Anan Srising, 30, who was busted transporting 297 bags of weed, strategically hidden amongst durians and corn.

The product is estimated to be worth THB5 million, reported Khaosod.

According to police, Anan confessed that he was paid THB80,000 to drive from the Isaan province of Nakhon Ratchasima and deliver the products to Hat Yai’s Baan Khlongwa area in the south.

Police believed that the marijuana would then be delivered to an international investor in one of three southern border cities or Malaysia. The investigation is ongoing, Morning News reported.
