Police in Thailand were baffled when a man they were arresting, possessing meth, claimed he bought the drug to boost his motorcycle’s horsepower.
According to Khaosod, police were on routine patrols on 30 Oct when they stumbled upon the man at a gas station in Samut Songkhram province.
When police noticed the 29-year-old’s modified motorcycle, they approached him. A search revealed the man to be possessing one and a half tablets of Ya ba, a drug containing a mixture of methamphetamine and caffeine.
A small plastic medicine bag contained the orange tablet inscribed with the letter WY. He hid the bag inside a box of candy in his bag.
