On July 16, members of Lao Cai Customs Department worked with Lao Cai Provincial Police to arrest two people who were illegally transporting 9 kg of drugs in the area of Na Pao village, Ban Lau ward, Muong Khuong district, Lao Cai province.
They are Sung Phung (born in 1983, residing in Na Loc 3 village, Ban Lau commune, Muong Khuong district) and Vang Trung Khoa (born in 1990, residing in Mao Choa Su village, Ta Ngai Cho commune, Muong Khuong district).
At the time of arrest, the two drugs smugglers were traveling on a motorbike (license plate No. 24B-974.94) while carrying a sack. When they were discovered, Vang Trung Khoa who sat behind immediately fled. However, Khoa was quickly captured by the scouting team.

According to the testimony of the subjects, Sung Phung and Vang Trung Khoa discussed buying drugs for sale and contacted Giang A Cho.

When the subjects had completed the transaction, the competent forces discovered and arrested them with all exhibits.
