Cambodian police say they have netted nearly 13 million smuggled flu tablets that could be used to make millions of illegal drug pills.

A man was arrested in connection with the tablets, seized Sunday at a warehouse near the northeastern border with Thailand.

The pills contain the active drug ingredient pseudo ephedrine, a precursor for methamphetamine and amphetamine

Cambodia has become a popular trafficking point for narcotics after Thailand toughened its stance on illegal drugs in 2002.
