At the police station, the subjects confessed that they often went to mountainous districts to buy drugs from Lao people and then transported them to the North for consumption.
These are two drug trafficking rings that have existed for many years, run by people with many previous convictions for drug crimes, so their operations are very sophisticated and cunning.
