The suspects were identified as Lau Yong Chee, 35 and Chan Wai Yin, 49. A combined unit of Thai police and US Drug Enforcement officials investigated the information for two weeks before tracking down the suspects. The 200 kilograms of “ice” found in the car were hidden inside 200 Chinese 1kg tea bags. Jirapob said both suspects confessed to smuggling the drug and said this was their first time, a claim rejected by police. He added that the drug could ten times worth more - or about Bt6 billion - in another country.
