Two suspects arrested for transporting 450 ecstasy pills.

(Baonghean.vn) -On the afternoon of July 24th, the command post of My Ly Border Guard Station (Nghe An Border Guard Command) received information that two unfamiliar individuals had appeared in the area, exhibiting many suspicious behaviors.

Immediately, the unit's command dispatched a task force led by Lieutenant Xeo Van Nom, Head of the Anti-Drug Trafficking Team, along with four scouts, to carry out the mission. Upon arriving in Buoc village, Bac Ly commune, Ky Son district, the task force spotted two unfamiliar individuals matching the description in the report. As the task force quickly approached, the suspects spotted the Border Guard forces and fiercely resisted in an attempt to escape, but the scouts managed to subdue both individuals.

Upon inspection, the officers discovered two individuals, both Lao nationals, carrying 450 pills of synthetic drugs in their bags. The task force proceeded to arrest them and brought them to the police station for further investigation.

Here, the two suspects, Thò Tồng Khư (born in 1972) and Dềnh Chìa Thò (born in 1987, both residing in Muong Quan district, Hua Phan province, Lao People's Democratic Republic), confessed to bringing the drugs to Bac Ly commune to sell to a boss for profit. They bought the drugs in Laos for 60,000 VND per pill and planned to resell them in Vietnam for double the price, 120,000 VND per pill. If the sale was successful, they would earn approximately 50 million VND.

On the morning of July 25th, Lieutenant Colonel Nguyen Xuan Phuong, Commander of My Ly Border Guard Station, issued a decision to initiate criminal proceedings. The case is currently under investigation.
