The task force received information that at the foot of Dong Dinh mountain in Khanh Thinh hamlet, Nghi Khanh commune, there would be subjects delivering and receiving fireworks. The unit's leaders decided to break up the task force and sent forces to closely monitor the area.
At around 7:00 p.m. on December 28, at the foot of Dong Dinh mountain, Khanh Thinh hamlet, Nghi Khanh commune, the reconnaissance force discovered a young man riding an Exiter motorbike with license plate 37F1 - 003.41. After circling around the area a few times and seeing nothing suspicious, the subject used his phone to call someone. More than half an hour later, two young men riding an Exiter motorbike with license plate 37B2 - 074.00 carrying a backpack and a black plastic bag came to meet the waiting subject.
While the three subjects were handing over the items, the task force quickly approached and conducted an administrative inspection. Through inspection, the authorities discovered that the backpack contained 36 mortars and a plastic bag containing grenade-shaped fireworks, all of which were foreign-made, with a total weight of 21.8 kg.
The three subjects involved in the firecracker trading and transportation case are: Vo Tien Hung (born 1990), Nguyen Van Dung (born 1994) and Tran Van Thuy (born 1994), all residing in block 8, Nghi Thuy ward, Cua Lo town.
Through the struggle, the subjects confessed their actions. Currently, the case is being further investigated by the authorities./.
