Earlier on January 22, police in coordination with other relevant forces searched the room that the two Lao nationals were staying in at Le Xuan Hotel in Huong Son District and seized 1 kg of methamphetamines, two mobile phones, and one motorbike.

The two traffickers hailing from Bolikhamxay province in Laos initially confessed to having transported the drugs across the border from Laos to Vietnam.

The two suspects and associated material evidence were turned over to the Ha Tinh police department for processing in line with legal regulations.
