At the police station, they said that they took the drugs from a Lao national called "Minh”who hired them to transport the drugs from an area on the Vietnam-Laos border in Nam Po district of Dien Bien to Lao Cai city, and then deliver to a Chinese called "Thao” for 150 million VND. Pang and Din took the role as guides for Vang to the delivery address where they were arrested.
