Drug enforcement operations in Vietnam
Overview
Law enforcement authorities in Vietnam have conducted several operations targeting drug trafficking and illegal drug use.
In late October, a joint operation involving Hanoi police, border guards, and customs authorities dismantled a transnational trafficking ring operating from Laos into Vietnam. This crackdown, which followed intelligence regarding shipments moved via express delivery services, resulted in the seizure of over 55kg of synthetic drugs, primarily methamphetamine. The operation led to the arrest of three suspects in Laos and the interception of a large shipment in Hanoi.
In early November, separate operations were conducted in Lam Dong and Ho Chi Minh City. In Da Lat, police arrested four individuals at a residence after one suspect tested positive for Ketamine. In Ho Chi Minh City, a coordinated raid on an apartment complex led to the arrest of 23 people. These individuals face various charges, including illegal drug trafficking, organizing illegal drug use, and illegal drug use.
