The ring, which has been under watch over the past two months, is led by Pham Huu Hieu, 48, who is from the central province of Nghe An and resides in Ho Chi Minh City.
Hieu teamed up with transporters to bring drugs from Laos to Vietnam through central Quang Binh province for sale in Ho Chi Minh City.
On July 11, the suspects were caught conducting drug trading activities. The police searched locations where they stored the drugs and discovered the heroin.
Currently, the police are expanding the investigation on the case.
