Police manning a road checkpoint on Mae Sai-Chiang Rai Road in Tambon Pong Pha in Mae Sai chased the car after it stopped 150 metres before the checkpoint and reversed in the direction it came from. When police at the checkpoint went after it, the car turned to a road along an irrigation canal, slowed down and dumped five bags. The police car stopped to check the bags and found 289 packets, each containing 2,000 meth pills, police said.
