Large quantities of methamphetamine destined for Thailand were seized by police on Saturday during a routine traffic stop, one of two large busts over the weekend.

In Preah Vihear, police found an estimated 144,000 meth pills in the car of Kong Rich, 32, at a traffic checkpoint on Saturday night in Tbeng Meanchey district’s Mohaphal village, according to provincial deputy police chief Chhory Borin.

“Honestly, it was a fluke. We station three kinds of police at each checkpoint: explosives police, traffic police and anti-drug police,” Borin said. “We were suspicious because his eyes were red and he was behaving suspiciously. We called him out of the car for a urine test. It came up positive and he confessed that he had been using drugs. Then we checked his car, where we found piles of drugs.”
