A Chiang Mai couple on vacation in Tak were arrested by police over the weekend for allegedly planning to traffic 228 kilogrammes of heroin from a warehouse in Nonthaburi to Taiwan.
Pol Lt Gen Montri Yimyaem, chief of the Narcotics Suppression Bureau (NSB), told a press briefing on Sunday the suspects husband and wife were fishing at a reservoir near the Bhumibol Dam in Tak province when narcotics-suppression police arrested them.
He said police raided a warehouse in Nonthaburi on Wednesday and confiscated the drugs. A suspected female drug peddler, who was arrested at the scene, reportedly told police the narcotics belonged to her bosses who wanted to traffic them to Taiwan.
