Authorities in Dong Thap Province have impounded around 90 kilograms of trafficked narcotics, the largest amount ever discovered in the Mekong Delta province, leading to three arrests.

Le Van Thai, head of the Thuong Phuoc border guard station between Vietnam and Cambodia, on Tuesday said three people were arrested in Hong Ngu District last Sunday for trafficking the drugs, including heroin, Vietnam News Agency reported.

Nguyen Thuy Vy, 28, Huynh Quoc Dat, 29, and Nguyen Tan Dung, 43, were charged with smuggling heroin and other narcotics from Cambodia to Ho Chi Minh City at around 2:45 a.m. Sunday. A car was also seized as evidence.

An investigation is ongoing.

There seems to be little information at this early stage of a large drug bust. Such has where did the trafficers involvement begin from, being that heroin seems to be making a comeback lately, and the substance coming from the golden triangle.
Always "hope" but never "expect".
