Previously, through the situation, the drug crime prevention detectives of Quy Chau District Police discovered an illegal drug trafficking ring led by subjects from other provinces. Taking professional measures, at about 10 p.m. on August 16, the detectives received information that the subjects were traveling in two cars with foreign license plates to stay at a hotel in Kim Son town, Que Phong district, then transacted drugs and brought them to the lowlands for consumption.

On the evening of August 17, they will leave the hotel to move downstream, along National Highway 48A passing through Quy Chau area.

TFrom the above information, the Task Force has planned and implemented arrest plans carefully and meticulously, ensuring absolute safety for the entire force and surrounding people.

At about 9:30 p.m. on August 17, at National Highway 48A in Chau Hoi Commune, Quy Chau District, the Traffic Police Task Force of the District Police signaled to stop a Mazda 3 car with license plate 73A - 082.48 for administrative inspection and arrest. Moving immediately after that, a Fortuner car with license plate 73A - 129.81 immediately reversed and turned around to run away in an attempt to escape.

However, they could not have imagined that all their actions were already part of the arrest plan of the Quy Chau District Police. Accordingly, a working group pursued the car. At this time, on small, steep roads, from Chau Hoi commune to the inner communes of Quy Chau district, a spectacular chase took place in the dark of night.
