The head of the Maungdaw Township police confirmed that an anti-narcotics task force confiscated more than 4.6 million methamphetamine pills from a Buddhist monk on Sunday.
At around 6 p.m., U Arsara—an abbot—and a novice monk drove U Arsara’s Toyota Kluger from Shwe Baho village in southern Maungdaw to a downtown area known by locals as Na Ta La village. They were arrested by the Mayu Operation, an anti-narcotics task force, at Bawdhikone checkpoint on the outskirts of Maungdaw.
Police said they initially discovered 400,000 meth pills and some ammunition in abbot U Arsara’s vehicle. They then searched the Shwe Baho monastery and discovered 4.6 million stimulant tablets, said Maungdaw Township police head Col Kyaw Mya Win. (Courtesy of irrawaddy.com)
