YANGON, Oct. 6 (Xinhua) -- Myanmar police have seized 98,000 stimulant tablets in eastern Myanmar's Shan State, according to a statement by the Central Committee for Drug Abuse Control (CCDAC) on Sunday.

Acting on a tip-off, the joint anti-narcotics task force inspected a motorcycle in the state's Yatsauk township on Saturday and confiscated the drugs, it said.

The seized drugs had a street value of about 49 million kyats (about 23,333 U.S. dollars), it added.

One suspect has been arrested and charged under the country's drug laws, and further investigations were underway, the CCDAC said.
