(Photo AFP)Ten million made-in-Myanmar methamphetamine pills and nearly half a tonne of crystal methamphetamine hidden in tea packages have been seized from a convoy of cars in Bangkok, police said on Friday. Police followed the four cars from Ayutthaya, which is a key warehousing site for the drugs which pour from Myanmar's meth labs. They made the bust once the convoy had reached downtown Bangkok late on Thursday, police said, finding crystal meth concealed in Chinese-branded tea packages and the pill bundles. "Six suspects who were paid to transport drugs were arrested," national police chief Gen Chakthip Chaijinda told a new conference.
