Accordingly, through monitoring and information gathering on May 25, Tho Ba Chai will conduct a drug exchange. At exactly 12 noon on May 25, a working group of Que Phong District Police ambushed the Ta Pan village area, Tri Le commune.

Due to heavy rain, Chai and two other young men did not appear until 9 p.m. the same day to exchange drugs. While the customer was checking the goods, undercover police swooped in and arrested Chai.
