According to a reader tip-off, plainclothes police were seen chasing down wanted fugitives in the Sanjiang district of Vientiane, Laos, yesterday afternoon, with guns drawn during the arrest. The tipster said the targets were people on Red Notices or China's online wanted list, claimed the officers were reportedly Chinese police, and added that the arrests were said to be based on precise location tracking.
It is worth stressing that this account comes only from a reader submission. How many people were detained, who they were and which agency carried out the operation have not been confirmed by any official statement so far, so it is best treated as an unverified report for now.
Still, Sanjiang is one of the busiest Chinese business hubs in the Lao capital, and talk like this travels fast through the local community. China and Laos have been stepping up cooperation against telecom fraud, cross-border gambling and fugitives in recent years, so anyone hoping to quietly disappear there may find it getting harder.
