Through the work of grasping the situation, Quy Chau District Police discovered that recently there were a number of subjects colluding with each other to secretly transport opium poppy fruits from areas along National Highway 48 to the downstream for consumption, so they established a special project to fight and prevent it. Accordingly, many working groups were established and stayed in the areas to monitor and solve the case.

At around 9:30 p.m. on January 5, the Quy Chau District Police Task Force was on patrol and control duty in Pom Lau village, Chau Binh commune when they discovered a car with the same characteristics as the information they had gathered, so they asked to stop the car for inspection. Upon inspection, the police force discovered 2 snake carcasses in the trunk containing 40 kg of opium poppy fruit.
