The suspected vehicle does not stop but runs away. The joint task force reports the case to their commanders on one hand and tracks the suspects on the other hand. The chiefs of the Vietnamese and Cambodian forces meet to develop a joint combat plan to arrest the suspects. Many local police and military units are mobilized to surround the area where the suspected vehicle stops.
