The seized evidence was up to 493 kg of various drugs. This was a large, transnational case, involving many provinces and cities, the subjects took advantage of every trick to hide the drugs. We were assigned to fight the component cases, had to stick to the station 24/7 to monitor the subjects from across the border. When the subjects arrived at the Cau Treo border gate area, I directly commanded the officers and soldiers to organize the siege, control and successfully arrest 2 cases, seizing 180 kg of synthetic drugs and 3 heroin cakes," Major Vu Anh Tuan recounted.
