A joint security team seized a large quantity of illegal drugs worth Ks 3 billion in Yamethin Township, Mandalay Region, in the early hours of March 24.
According to reports, at around 2:30 am., authorities attempted to stop and inspect three motorcycles—two Shayan and one Kenbo model—traveling along the Tatkon–Kyaukse inter-district road between Nanlone and Kyisu villages. The motorcycles were carrying sacks suspected to contain illicit substances and were coming from Pinlaung Township.
The riders failed to stop when signaled, prompting a pursuit by security forces. One suspect, identified as Khun Lain Mar, 40, a resident of Luphechan Village in Pinlaung Township, Shan State (South), was apprehended along with the three motorcycles.
Upon inspection of six sacks loaded on the motorcycles, authorities discovered approximately 2 million stimulant tablets, with an estimated street value of nearly Ks 3 billion. The drugs were confiscated, and further investigations are underway.
