Tha Chatchai Police arrested two Thai men at 11pm last night when the passenger van they were in was found to be transporting 2,156 methamphetamine pills.
A team of officers from Tha Chatchai Police, led by Lt. Col. Nokorn Chutong, arrested van driver Uthai Jankarn, 41, and his accomplice, Phuwadon Pornsawangniwet, 20, both from Trang, when they carried out a routine search of their minivan and found the pills inside a compartment of the white Phuket-registered Toyota commercial passenger van.
Both Uthai and Phuwadon confessed to police that the pills belonged to them so they were taken to Tha Chatchai Police Station and charged with possession of Category 1 drugs with intent to sell.
