The drug traffickers, born in 1982 and 1991 and residing in Viengxay district of Houaphanh province, were caught red-handed in Keo Te village of Nhi Son commune of Muong Lat district.

The pair had been the two masterminds behind a large-scale drug trafficking ring operating across the border from Laos to Vietnam. They had used ethnic Mong people to find discreet routes and evade the police, causing a number of difficulties for relevant forces in breaking the case.
