Drug Mule Escapes: Khon Kaen police seized 500 kilograms of marijuana after a pickup truck overturned in Khon Kaen’s Ban Phai district early on Thursday but no arrest was made.

 

Pol Lt Gen Surachai Khuantejakup, commissioner of the Provincial Police Bureau 4, told a press conference that the 500 bars of marijuana were found after the pickup overturned and fell onto a roadside ditch at a curve on Ban Phai-Nong Song Hon Road in Ban Nong Tap Tao village in Tambon Pa Por at 4am.

When police arrived at the scene, the pickup driver had already escaped.

 

Surachai said police had learned that the drug was smuggled via Nakhon Phanom’s border via Khon Kaen to a southern province.

He said the pickup driver tried to avoid the main road and used a secondary road to avoid arrest but the accident occurred.
