A dramatic car chase unfolded in Phitsanulok as police chased a suspected drug dealer. Despite having his car tyres punctured by armed police, the suspect continued to flee, eventually colliding with a vehicle belonging to the mother of Thai actress Tukk Lila.
The suspect was eventually apprehended, and a large quantity of methamphetamine was discovered.
The incident occurred at 2pm yesterday, January 7 when investigative officers from Mueang Phitsanulok Police Station pursued the suspect on Phaya Suea Road.
