Vietnamese police on Saturday captured a man for unlawfully transporting more than $86,000 in cash across the border to Cambodia for a very small fee.
Officers are keeping Nguyen Van My, 49, and Do Thi Le, 42, in criminal detention on charges of illicitly carrying foreign currencies across the border, police in Vietnam’s An Giang Province, which borders Cambodia, said on Sunday.
Police officers had seen My suspiciously moving in a field along the Vietnam-Cambodia border and thus arrested him at 8:40 am on Saturday.
