BANGKOK (Reuters) - Thai anti-narcotics officers have seized 176 kg of crystal methamphetamine hidden in the metal frames of electric treadmills bound for Japan, police said on Thursday.
"Last month, the Australian police busted a similar case with the drugs hidden in exercise equipment, which they told us was packaged and exported from Thailand," Police Major General Yingyot Thepchamnong, head of the Narcotics Suppression Bureau told Reuters. "So, we followed up in the belief there must be other cases."
