泰國(guó)逮捕388磅藏在跑步機(jī)上的冰毒

Thai anti-narcotics officers have seized 388 pounds of crystal methamphetamine hidden in the metal frames of electric treadmills bound for Japan, police said on Thursday.

泰國(guó)警方于本周四稱，泰國(guó)緝毒人員在準(zhǔn)備運(yùn)往日本的電動(dòng)踏板金屬框架內(nèi)查獲了重388磅的冰毒晶體。

“Last month, the Australian police busted a similar case with the drugs hidden in exercise equipment, which they told us was packaged and exported from Thailand,” Police Major General Yingyot Thepchamnong, head of the Narcotics Suppression Bureau told Reuters. “So, we followed up in the belief there must be other cases.”

“上個(gè)月，澳大利亞警方破獲了一起類似的案件，他們告訴我們，藏在運(yùn)動(dòng)器材里的毒品是包裝好的，從泰國(guó)出口到澳大利亞的，”緝毒局局長(zhǎng)英約特·泰尚農(nóng)少將告訴路透社。“所以，我們相信肯定還有其他案例。”

He said officers at Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi airport on Tuesday discovered 79 pounds of crystal meth stashed in exercise equipment among air cargo bound for Japan, enabling them to track the shipment back to the warehouse.

他說(shuō)，周二，曼谷素萬(wàn)那普國(guó)際機(jī)場(chǎng)(Suvarnabhumi airport)的工作人員在運(yùn)往日本的航空貨物中發(fā)現(xiàn)了79磅藏在健身器材里的冰毒，這使他們能夠追蹤到貨物運(yùn)回倉(cāng)庫(kù)。

During the raid on the warehouse, police found a further 308 pounds inside the frames of 10 treadmills.

在對(duì)倉(cāng)庫(kù)的突襲中，警方在10臺(tái)跑步機(jī)的框架內(nèi)又發(fā)現(xiàn)了308磅。

One person was arrested following the raid, though Yingyot said police believe more suspects were involved.

有一人在突襲后被逮捕，不過(guò)英約特表示，警方認(rèn)為有更多嫌疑人參與。

Thailand is a major trafficking route for crystal meth manufactured in Myanmar’s Shan and Kachin states. The meth market has expanded at an alarming rate as drug seizures have surged more than tenfold over the past two years, official statistics show

泰國(guó)是緬甸撣邦和克欽邦制造的冰毒的主要販運(yùn)路線。官方統(tǒng)計(jì)數(shù)據(jù)顯示，冰毒市場(chǎng)以驚人的速度擴(kuò)張，毒品查獲量在過(guò)去兩年中激增了十倍以上

The UNODC estimates that the Asia-Pacific methamphetamine trade alone was worth as much as $61.4 billion in 2018, up from an estimated $15 billion just five years earlier.
