Three drug users gave officers a run for their money by trying to sprint away, but were ultimately apprehended after a tip-off from capital villagers in Choam Chao commune.

Getting the call on Saturday that there were addicts spotted using their substance of choice in plain view, cops came to the spot.

The men tried running away but were soon cornered, cuffed, found with 53 packets of narcotics and hauled away to be charged.
