3.7 kilograms of heroin into Taiwan, investigators said Tuesday.

The investigators said a Taiwanese man surnamed Tsai, the alleged mastermind of a drug trafficking ring who has resided in Thailand for many years, scouted the Indian man, aged around 70 and identified by police only as “Kenneth,” and his wife and daughter.
