Authorities have seized assets worth almost 90 million baht from a major drug network and arrested a woman and a man during raids on six locations in two northern provinces.

The six locations in Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai were searched on Friday following the recent arrest of two men — Anupong Semee and Chaturong Matchawong — at a house in Chiang Mai with 340,000 speed pills, according to the Office of the Narcotics Control Board (ONCB).
