Earlier, the competent forces detected an inter-provincial and transnational drug trafficking ring with a large quantity by a group of Mong ethnic suspects who transported drugs from Laos to Vietnam across Dien Bien province to ship to a third country for consumption.
On December 5, the working team received information that Lau A Dua and ring members would transport a huge quantity of drugs from Dien Bien Dong district to Lao Cai.
The working team was divided into many groups to arrest suspects. At Lao village, Xuan Lao commune, Muong Ang district, Dien Bien province, suspects drove straight into the working group and left the car at the edge of the forest to escape when both the vehicle’s tires were punctured.
After nearly two hours encircling the forest area, the competent forces arrested Lau A Dia.
