In their motorbikes, law enforcement officials found 69 kilos of heroin. Border guards also seized two mobile phones and US$19,152 in cash.
Lu Tho, 41, and Vang Tua Tho, 32, both Lao nationals, were booked in to jail on charges of dealing a controlled substance and possession of a controlled substance.
The busts are significant, because they break down the complicated illicit trafficking system between Laos and Vietnam.
Authorities say ultimately these two people contribute to the crime, death, and addiction that runs rampant in our communities.
