Drug enforcement officers say they stopped a truck carrying two men and one woman on September 11 at a petrol station in the district of My Duc in Hanoi and seized 15 bags of what is believed to be heroin along with a plastic bag containing an estimated 2,000 ecstasy pills.

The suspects reportedly acknowledged they were transporting the drugs for a Chinese man from Moc Chau in northern Son La Province to Lang Son Province for transportation to China.

All three were taken to jail in Hanoi while the investigation continues.
