Recently, in Luong Minh commune, Tuong Duong district, a Mong (Lao) person has appeared, colluding with subjects with criminal records for illegal drug trading, use, and possession in Luong Minh commune and surrounding areas to form a drug trafficking ring.

During the investigation, the Task Force determined that during the drug trafficking process, the subjects were all equipped with firearms, had strict guarding, and chose rugged mountainous terrain. The activities of the subjects were very aggressive and reckless, ready to fight back fiercely when discovered and captured. Therefore, to combat and eradicate this criminal ring, the Task Force needed to mobilize many forces, synchronously use new professional measures to ensure success and safety for the fighting forces.
After a period of monitoring, the Task Force received information that on April 21, the subjects would deliver the goods at Pu Lom hill, Dua village, Luong Minh commune, so they arranged an ambush force.
At around 11 p.m. the same day, the police discovered Vu Chong Nhenh in the Pu Lom hill area, so they knocked him down and used an AK gun to shoot into the air to threaten the guards.
During the arrest, due to the rugged mountainous terrain and the fierce resistance of the subject, both the scout and the subject rolled down the stream. However, with the spirit of attacking and suppressing crime to the end, the police force successfully controlled and arrested the subject, ensuring absolute safety, seizing 01 heroin cake, 1,800 hong phien pills, 01 military gun, 4 bullets, 01 homemade cassava gun, 01 small scale, 2 knives.
