CHIANG MAI: An army patrol seized 60 kilogrammes of heroin as smugglers dumped their loads and fled when stopped for a search near the border in Chiang Dao district overnight.
Soldiers from the Pha Muang task force spotted two men, each carrying a sack, while patrolling the Nong Khieo border area in tambon Muang Na late on Thursday night.
When signalled them to stop for a search, the men fled into the night, leaving the sacks behind.
