A 46-year-old Lithuanian man was arrested at an airport in northern Laos after authorities intercepted him attempting to smuggle 15 kilograms of heroin on a flight to Vietnam.

The suspect, identified as Pika Kestutis, was detained at Luang Prabang International Airport during a coordinated sting operation on July 11 between Luang Prabang police, the Vietnamese Ministry of Public Security’s drug crime investigation unit, and Vietnamese officers stationed in Laos, according to the Cong An Nhan Dan (People’s Police) newspaper.
