Police have smashed a major drug trafficking gang in Pathum Thani province, arresting at least five suspects, seizing 3.4 million methamphetamine tablets and impounding 15 million baht in assets, in an operation which has been running since mid-July, according to Pol Lt-Gen Jiraphat Phumichit, commissioner of the First Region Provincial Police Bureau.

He said today (Sunday) that the gang used a car, disguised as a school vehicle, to transport methamphetamine from Thailand’s northern provinces to a warehouse in Pathum Thani, before it was transported to the southernmost provinces for smuggling out of the country.
