Mae Chan Police Station, stationed at Tha Khao Pluek Checkpoint, Mae Chan District, Chiang Rai Province, intercepted a drug suspect after receiving a call from Chiang Rai Provincial Police that a white pickup truck with a white cab, driven by a man, had evaded a search and fled into a village. The vehicle was hiding drugs. A search of the rear cab found 200,000 methamphetamine pills wrapped in black plastic.
