Police in Laos seize meth pills in major drug bust

AUTHORITIES in Laos have made their third largest seizure ever of methamphetamine, confiscating a haul of 33 million tablets along with 500kg of crystal methamphetamine, an official with the UN anti-crime agency said.

The huge bust came after 200,000 tablets were found on Friday night in a truck that was stopped at a checkpoint in the northwestern province of Bokeo, said Jeremy Douglas, the regional representative for the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime.
