Police break up drug ring on Vietnam-Laos border
Quang Tri border guards, in coordination with police in Laos’ Savannakhet Province and relevant agencies, launched a raid on the ring that ran several illicit operations – including drug dealing, gambling, accepting motorcycles pawned by thieves, and others – near the border between the two provinces.
Police arrested 37-year-old Ho A Nghien and 15-year-old Ho A Khon at their residence in Savannakhet.
Nghien managed the illicit operations while Khon was a drug deliveryman, according to police reports.
At the scene, officials confiscated 800 synthetic drug pills, eight motorcycles, six detonators, one homemade mine, one gun, among others.
The ring has been a familiar retailer of drugs in the area, especially to the Vietnamese addicts living in the communes of Quang Tri.
The two suspects were transferred to Savannakhet police for further investigation.
Eight motorcycles which were exhibits of several thefts in Vietnam were also transported back to the Vietnamese province.
