Lai Chau police reported that at 2 p.m. on February 24, anti-drug police in Tan Uyen district (Lai Chau) discovered a man and woman on a motorbike suspected of transporting drugs, so they signaled them to stop. Not complying, the two suspects threw their backpacks on the side of the road and sped away.

Being caught up by the scouts, one person pulled out a K59 gun and shot at the arresting force, injuring Nguyen Van Doan (district inspector) in the leg. On his way to work, Doan encountered the task force chasing him and joined in to help.

Because the suspect continued to flee and the terrain was difficult, the police had to ask the people of Than Thuoc commune to join in chasing and tracking his whereabouts.

Suspect Lau was subdued.

At 3 p.m. the same day, the police subdued the female suspect, Song Thi Di, but the other suspect, Hang A Lau, continued to flee, fiercely fought back, and hid in a ravine. The situation forced the district police to notify Lai Chau Provincial Police for assistance in solving the case.

After more than 2 hours of unsuccessful persuasion, Lau, tired, took advantage of the opportunity to put his gun on the ground. The capture force quickly approached and subdued him. Evidence was a K59-type gun and 7 bullets (one was loaded, 6 were in the magazine).

Searching the backpack that Lau and Di threw on the side of the road, the detectives seized 39 heroin cakes, 6.5 million VND, 600 USD and 100,000 Lao kip.

Lau's remaining gun and ammunition

Lau told the investigation agency that he transported for hire to earn 150 million VND in wages.

This is a special case that Tan Uyen district police have been monitoring since early January. Nearly 40 detectives were mobilized to collect evidence of this drug trafficking ring./.
