TANINTHARYI DIVISION – Falcon TYC PDF burned and destroyed nearly 7,000 WY tablets that were confiscated in August on September 8 morning.
These illegal drugs were the 6,800 WY tablets and two packets of ICE drugs confiscated from two men heading from Thayetchaung to Palaw on August 3.
“We have locked up the drugs after confiscating them but storage became difficult due to the weather. And since we didn’t receive any instructions from higher-ups, we decided to burn them,” said the information officer of Falcon TYC PDF.
The higher-ups mentioned above refer to the Thayetchaung Township People’s Defence Force (PDF).
The two men arrested with the confiscated drugs were detained and questioned for around two days but have been released to their parents after signing letters of guarantee.
Falcon TYC PDF has frequently carried out seizure and destruction of illegal drugs and junta products in Thayetchaung Township on the Dawei-Myeik Highway.
In Kyunsu Township, the township PDF has similarly destroyed over 1,000 WY tablets confiscated from three men at the beginning of this month.
