After a tip, they inspected a large parcel box which they asked the delivery staff to open.  Inside the box, they found 2 speakers but weighed  17 kilograms more than what the package read. The police became suspicious and had a look inside the speaker and to their surprise, they found a total of 52,000 amphetamine pills.

Police officers arrested two drug traffickers, Kiatisak Saelu, 27, from Betong District, Yala  and Mr. Sukree Masamae, age 33 Muang District, Narathiwat Province.
