Three Laotian gang leaders of the ring were caught in the act, while making transactions in the border province of Quang Tri.

The police seized 4kg of heroin, 42,000 ectasy pills, a car with Laotian registration plate and personal papers.

The traffickers, who had travelled to Viet Nam as tourists several times, told the police the drugs had been bought in Vientiane and then brought to Viet Nam.

According to the provincial police, this was the largest drug trafficking ring to be discovered in the border area.
