Vietnamese and Lao police cracked down on a major online gambling ring, seizing dozens of devices and detaining 29 suspects in Vientiane.

Police of Bokeo province in northern Laos have confiscated more than 7 million amphetamine pills in one of many consecutive drug seizures in the country recently.

Authorities of the Lao capital of Vientiane will soon commence imposing ten-fold fines on drunk drivers and speeding motorists in the capital, in a bid to reduce the frequency of road-related accidents, injuries, and fatalities.
