Southeast Asia’s biggest-ever drug warehouse raided by Vietnamese, Laotian detectives
After months of tracing and identifying the baron of a drug smuggling ring, forces from Vietnam and Laos raided the organization last month, seizing 5.5 metric tons of drugs – the biggest smuggling case ever uncovered in Southeast Asia.
Noticeably, the swoop on the huge drug warehouse in a forest in Laos followed a fight that lasted for an hour but did not cost a drop of blood.
The drug ring baron, Lamphunxilaxa, 47, who is a Thai national but mainly lives and works in Laos, was arrested during the raid.
