Arrest of subject 'posing' as a dry goods trader to traffic drugs
Taking advantage of his familiarity with the mountainous terrain, Lau Va Khu contacted and colluded with a notorious person on the other side of the border to buy drugs, then brought them back to retail, making illegal profits. The illegal acts of the subject were discovered and arrested by the Ky Son District Police.
Through investigation, Ky Son District Police discovered that suspect Lau Va Khu (born in 1964), residing in Son Ha village, Ta Ca commune, showed signs of suspicion related to drug crimes.
To bypass the authorities, Lau Va Khu "impersonated" a trader of dried goods in the border area, taking advantage of his familiarity with the mountainous terrain to contact and connect with key figures on the other side of the border to buy drugs, then bring them back to retail, making illegal profits.

Determined to prevent drug smuggling from outside and keep the border area clean, Ky Son District Police established a special project, concentrating forces and means to arrest Lau Va Khu.
Because the subject could possess "hot" weapons, was familiar with the area, operated in a sophisticated and secretive manner, and had difficult terrain in the mountainous border areas, the Task Force met to discuss and make detailed plans, waiting for the right opportunity to solve the case.
After a period of persistent monitoring and flexible application of professional measures, at about 9:00 a.m. on June 30, 2024, in Son Ha village, Ta Ca commune, the Criminal Investigation Police Team on criminal, economic and drug crimes of Ky Son district police and Na Ngoi commune police co-chaired and coordinated with Ta Ca commune police to successfully break the case, arresting Lau Va Khu for illegal drug trafficking, seizing 602 synthetic drug pills, 01 flintlock gun and 0.5 kg of ammunition.
