On May 5, Lieutenant Colonel Lo Van Thao - Deputy Head of Ky Son District Police said that the unit is temporarily detaining Ngan Van Mao (46 years old, Dua village, Luong Minh commune, Tuong Duong) to investigate the act of "Illegal drug trafficking".

According to the police investigation, Mao is a long-time drug addict, operating in a very sophisticated, secretive and very reckless manner. He always carries with him many weapons such as guns, sharp knives, and sets up camps deep in the forest to trade drugs. Recognizing that this is an extremely dangerous person, the Ky Son District Police have established a special investigation, in which they have sent many experienced detectives to monitor and grasp Mao's travel schedule and habits.
