As a garage employee was removing parts on Thursday, he found the pills hidden in the bumper, which had been modified as a secret compartment. Mr Niyom on Saturday apologised and thanked the buyer and garage employee for informing officials immediately. At the time, police found 100,000 pills in bags lying in plain view on the back seat of the car. Mr Niyom added that the case served as a lesson for ONCB officials who were advised to be more thorough with searches. The new owner and the garage employee who found them will also be rewarded as the information they had given was a tip-off according to ONCB regulations.
