Phat – one of their accomplices – ran away with two kg of methamphetamine and 10,000 ecstasy pills. However, he was arrested by competent forces on June 26.
Police seized a total of 12.6 kg of methamphetamine, 48 bricks of heroin (about 17kg), a gun, five bullets, a M67 grenade, two cars and others objects.
The municipal People’s Committee and Police on August 19 presented certificates of merit to units that had contributed to busting the drug ring.
