On June 13th, the Criminal Investigation Agency of the An Giang Provincial Police is holding La Van Thuan (born in 1982, residing in Khanh An commune, An Phu district, An Giang province) in custody on charges of illegally transporting currency across the border.
According to information from the investigating agency, at approximately 4:00 AM on June 12th, through local area management and receiving reports from residents in the border area of Group 3, Tan Khanh Hamlet, Long Binh Town, An Phu District, An Giang Province, an individual was found illegally transporting foreign currency (USD) across the Cambodian border.
The An Giang Provincial Police Directorate promptly directed police units and local authorities to coordinate a stakeout and apprehend La Van Thuan red-handed while he was driving a motorcycle with license plate 67G1-758.32, carrying a black nylon bag containing stacks of US dollar bills totaling 530,150 USD.
Working with the police, Thuan confessed that the US dollars were given to him by a man who hired him to transport them to an unknown individual to be taken to Cambodia for distribution. If the delivery was successful, Thuan would receive payment.
