A joint force of customs and anti-narcotics officials has uncovered 30.5 kilograms of crystal methamphetamine hidden inside plaster cat and giraffe dolls in a container, bound for Taiwan, at Bangkok Port.
The search of the container was the result of an inspection of export documents, which looked suspicious. The search found the crystal methamphetamine, known on the street as ‘ice’, stuffed in plastic bags and hidden in the dolls.
The confiscated drugs would have had a street value of about Bt30.5 million. The officials will expand the investigation to those involved in the smuggling operation.
