Authorities discovered a truck carrying 48 buffaloes and cows of unknown origin and without quarantine certificates.
According to the police in Bach Ha commune, Nghe An province, they recently coordinated with the Office of the Criminal Investigation Agency and Traffic Police Team No. 2 of the Traffic Police Department of Nghe An province to discover a truck transporting 48 buffaloes and cows of unknown origin and without the required animal quarantine certificates.
Previously, through intelligence gathering, the Bach Ha commune police discovered that several individuals were illegally trading and transporting cattle from abroad into Vietnam via unofficial routes. These cattle often lacked invoices and documentation, and had not undergone veterinary quarantine. The individuals exploited price differences to purchase them cheaply and then sell them domestically for illicit profit.
These activities not only pose a risk of disease outbreaks to domestic livestock, but also affect economic management order, lead to tax revenue losses, and create unfair competition for legitimate businesses.
In light of this situation, based on enhanced intelligence gathering and proactive coordination with the professional departments of the Provincial Police and other functional forces to organize patrols and inspections, at approximately 9:00 AM on September 15, 2025, the Bach Ha Commune Police, Nghe An Province, in coordination with the Office of the Criminal Investigation Agency and Traffic Police Team No. 2 of the Traffic Police Department of Nghe An Province, detected a truck with license plate 37H-077.49 showing many suspicious signs related to violations of the law.
Authorities stopped and inspected the truck. Upon inspection, it was found that the truck was being driven by Dang Khac T. (born in 1985), residing in Tan Chau commune, Nghe An province, with Hoang Ngoc Th. (born in 1987), residing in Luong Son commune, Nghe An province, sitting in the passenger seat.
Authorities discovered that the truck was transporting 48 buffaloes and cows. At the time, the driver could not produce any documents related to the origin or quarantine certificates required for the animals. Authorities drew up a report and brought the vehicle and those involved to the Bach Ha Commune Police Station for further investigation.
The incident is currently being investigated by the Bach Ha Commune Police in coordination with other relevant agencies.
