Nghe An: Hot reward for the project that caught 8 heroin cakes and 4 kg of various drugs
(Baonghean.vn) - Taking advantage of his familiarity with the terrain, Lang Van Thai (residing in Anh Son district, Nghe An) frequently crossed the border into Laos to get drugs and bring them back to the mainland for sale. However, his crimes were caught by the authorities.
Through reconnaissance and situational awareness, Thanh Chuong District Police discovered an illegal drug trafficking ring led by individuals residing in Anh Son District. They frequently crossed the border into Laos to buy drugs, then transported them back to the mainland to sell to other individuals in Thanh Chuong District and neighboring areas.
Faced with that situation, in early November 2018, Thanh Chuong District Police established a Project coded 118H to combat this type of crime. During the process of fighting the project, Thanh Chuong District Police reported and received direction from the Provincial Police leadership and the coordination of the Drug Crime Investigation Police Department, the Technical Department and the Internal Security Department.
