On the afternoon of February 3, Yen Thanh District Police ( Nghe An ) announced that they had just presided over and coordinated with related units to successfully break up a major drug case, arresting two subjects and seizing tens of thousands of drug pills.

Through information gathering, Yen Thanh District Police discovered a drug trafficking ring from abroad to Vietnam through the Tri Le border gate (Que Phong District).
