In early July 2017, PC47 discovered a group of Mong people residing in Ban Pha Noi, Muong Tip Commune, Ky Son District, who were involved in drug-related crimes. These people often illegally crossed the border into Laos to buy large quantities of drugs, then returned to Vietnam and brought them to the northern provinces for consumption.
Among them, a group of people led by Lau Ba Cha, residing in Muong Tip, Ky Son emerged. The drug trafficking activities led by Lau Ba Cha had many very sophisticated tricks. Cha used Mong people, especially relatives and brothers in the same clan to participate and carry out criminal activities.
