Previously, Thai Hoa Town Police discovered two illegal drug retail outlets in Nghia Thuan Commune and Dong Tam Ward led by Cao Van Phat and Phan Van Tuan. These two subjects are both drug addicts and have criminal records for drug-related crimes. Thai Hoa Town Police established Project 212M to combat this.
During the investigation, the police clarified that taking advantage of the morning when many people came to Nghia Thuan Commune Health Center to take methadone, Phat and Tuan quickly contacted to supply drugs. These two subjects did not directly deliver the "goods" but took money in advance, telling the drug-hiding location for addicts to come and get.
When arresting these two subjects, the police seized 3.7 grams of crystal meth, 31.6 grams of heroin and 36 pink pills. Based on the statements of the two subjects, on the same day the police arrested Le Thanh Hop and seized 30 grams of heroin.
