Police and soldiers inspect sacks containing almost 12 million speed pills seized from an abandoned pickup truck found with one wheel missing in Chiang Rai's Wiang Chai district on Monday. The 57 packs of speed pills were all stamped with “Y1’’ or “999’’ and believed to belong to a Wa drug trafficking gang, Pol Gen Thanitsak said. The victims were driving home from their farm in their pickup truck on the Ban Rom Fa Thong-Ban Pha Tang Road in tambon Por of Wiang Kaen district when the gunmen attacked. Thaweesak is a local leader who has campaigned for land rights for residents in Thoeng and Wiang Kaen districts and against the illegal drug trade. The 57 sacks containing 1.4 tonnes of speed pills are put on display during a media briefing in Chiang Rai on Tuesday.
