YANGONearncryptoplayingminecraft, July 7 (Xinhua) -- Myanmar police seized 500,000 stimulant tablets in eastern Myanmar's Shan State, according to the Central Committee for Drug Abuse Control late Saturday.

Acting on a tip-off, the joint anti-narcotic task force inspected a suspect on Pyihtaungsu road in Taunggyi Township on July 4 and found the drugs inside paper boxes carried by the suspect, it said.

The seized drugs had a street value of 250 million kyats (about 119,047 U.S. dollars), it added.

The two suspects linked to the drug trafficking cases have been charged under the Southeast Asian country's Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Law, and further investigations were underway, the CCDAC said.■
