During the investigation, the police identified that the leader of the group of people who regularly supplied drugs to "high" users was Ho Ngoc Hung (born in 1995), with permanent residence in Nghia Dong commune, Tan Ky district, residing in Le Loi ward, Vinh city.
During the operation of this line, when customers had a need, Hung did not directly participate in delivering the "goods" but directed two "henchmen" residing in Vinh city, Nguyen Van Hieu (born in 1998), residing in Vinh Tan ward and Cao Tien Dung (born in 1996), residing in Doi Cung ward to provide drugs to customers for "high". Of these, Dung had 2 previous convictions for "Illegal trading of narcotics", Hieu had 1 previous conviction for "Illegal possession of narcotics".
In addition, the above subjects proactively infiltrated and connected with female employees working in bars, karaoke bars, and female subjects in rental service networks to participate in organizing illegal drug use, introducing and supplying drugs to customers in need for consumption.
Determining the dangerous nature and sophistication of this group of subjects, Hung Nguyen District Police have established a special project to combat them.
