Among the subjects arrested by the Police Agency is Nguyen Thi Kim Chi (born 1985), residing in Dong Ha city, Quang Tri province.

It is worth mentioning that Nguyen Thi Kim Chi took advantage of the homeowner's trust and disguised the firecrackers as bags of consumer goods and borrowed a private room to hide them. Afterwards, Nguyen Thi Kim Chi locked the room and kept the key, so Mrs. H. was not aware of it.

Thus, up to this point, the amount of fireworks in the project that Nghi Loc District Police coordinated with other units to destroy has reached more than 2.6 tons.

Currently, the case is being investigated and handled by the police according to the provisions of law.
