Police break up drug ring on Vietnam-Laos border

Authorities in the north-central province of Quang Tri busted on 23 November an illicit ring that supplied drugs and unlawfully organized gambling near the Vietnam-Laos border.
Quang Tri border guards, in coordination with police in Laos’ Savannakhet Province and relevant agencies, launched a raid on the ring that ran several illicit operations – including drug dealing, gambling, accepting motorcycles pawned by thieves, and others – near the border between the two provinces.
