The two suspects confessed that they were transporting heroin and synthetic drugs from Laos, and when they got near the Cau Treo international border gate, they would find a way to illegally transport them into Vietnam for consumption.

According to the authorities, the heroin and synthetic drugs are worth tens of billions of dong. The case has been handed over to Lao police for handling.
