Two brothers run a drug ring from Nghe An to Quang Ninh

On the afternoon of August 23, Nghia Dan District Police announced that they had successfully arrested two brothers who were illegally transporting a large quantity of crystal meth for sale in the northern provinces.

In mid-July 2019, Nghia Dan District Police discovered that a number of people from outside the province regularly illegally bought and sold drugs from the border area of ​​Que Phong district to the northern provinces for consumption.

The police identified the two ringleaders as Do Van Trong (born 1996) and Do Van Long (born 1987, both residing in Cao Thang ward, Ha Long city, Quang Ninh province).

Upon entering Nghe An, Trong and Long rented a motel in Thai Hoa town to disguise themselves as locals, making it easier to commit crimes. Faced with that situation, Nghia Dan District Police established Project 819M to combat and destroy this drug trafficking ring.

Police seized at the scene 1.5 kg of crystal meth, 3 cell phones, 1 small scale, 2 knives and 1 switchblade.

At 10:00 a.m. on August 20, the police arrested Do Van Trong and seized 120 million VND and 3 mobile phones from Trong. The case is being expanded by Nghia Dan District Police.
