CHIANG RAI – Police in have arrested a drug suspect in possession of 500,000 “yaba” pills on Sunday night at the combined security checkpoint in Chiang Rai’s Mae Fa Luang district.

When authorities waved for the men to stop and submit to a search, they sped up and officers gave chase, catching one man who had been riding pillion on the second motorcycle.

A subsequent search of the area discovered three backpacks containing 400,000 yaba pills in a nearby ditch.
