At 10:15 AM, on 13/3, at a local hotel of Muong Khoa town, Phong Sa Ly province (Laos), the competent forces successfully closed the special project and arrested 3 people that included: Giang A Tu (was born in 1985, lives in Muong Khun village, Xieng Khouang province, Laos); Bun Hoong (was born in 1965, lives in Seng Su Vang village, Say Set Tha, Vientiane, Laos) and So Vieng Say (was born in 1969, lives in Vang Xai Village, Say Set Tha District, Vientiane, Laos) while they were committing an act of trading narcotics Illegally.
At the hotel, besides seizing the evidence of 60 bars of heroin and 40,000 tablets of synthetic narcotic, the competent force also seized 1 K59 gun, 7 rounds, 2 cars, 1 voice recorder, 8 mobile phones and some other related material.
As known, in early January 2018, through the investigation, competent forces have discovered the line of selling and transporting narcotics from Bo Keo to Muong Khoa (Laos) for gathering and selling to Vietnamese people. The High Command of Border Guard Dien Bien Province has established a special project and sent scouts to Laos for further verification. On March 12, after collecting information that Giang A Tu and Bun Hoong would transport large quantities of goods to Muong Khoa (Laos) for gathering and carry out transactions, the competent forces decided to close the case.
Currently, the subjects and all the evidence were handed over to the Security forces of Phong Sa Ly province (Laos) for settlement.
