The arrest occurred during an ambush operation where police stopped a pickup truck that Vu was traveling in, suspecting it of carrying illegal goods. When approached, Vu and his accomplice attempted to flee but were quickly apprehended by officers.

A search of the vehicle revealed over 35 kilograms of synthetic drugs and four packages of heroin, hidden in various compartments. Authorities are now processing Vu’s suspension from his official duties as part of the ongoing investigation.
