BANGKOK (AP) – Thai authorities say they have seized drugs worth about $29 million and arrested 11 people in recent days as narcotics case surge.

The drugs included amphetamine pills, marijuana, ketamine and ice seized in 11 unconnected cases since March 25. The haul displayed Tuesday at the Narcotics Suppression Division outside Bangkok was spread along a row of tables about 15 meters long (49 feet).

The total was estimated to be worth 890 million baht ($29 million), with the largest single haul being 700 kilograms (1,500 pounds) of ice.
