Arrested "boss" who ordered GrabBike to deliver drugs
Despite his young age, Tuan Anh is a major drug dealer supplying synthetic drugs to agents in the city. Alone, Tuan Anh is very afraid of being “dealt with” by his opponents, so he always carries a revolver with 5 bullets.
On January 18, District 7 Police, Ho Chi Minh City, announced that they had just broken up a drug supply line, arrested the ringleader, Nguyen Anh Tuan (31 years old, living in Phu Nhuan), seized more than 2,000 synthetic drug pills, a large amount of crystal meth, a Japanese sword, a revolver, and 5 bullets.

On the night of January 9, a working group of the Drug Police Team - District 7 Police patrolled the intersection of Tran Xuan Soan - Be Van Cam (Tan Kieng Ward, District 7) and discovered Bui Si Chu (52 years old, residing in District 3) driving a motorbike taxi to deliver synthetic drugs to an addict in the area, so they took him to the headquarters.

At the investigation agency, Chu stated that the source of goods he had to resell to drug addicts was from Tuan Anh. The place where Chu and Tuan Anh often transacted was PL Hotel (Tran Xuan Soan Street).
Based on Chu’s testimony, the Drug Police Team planned to arrest Tuan Anh. On the afternoon of January 10, Tuan Anh hired a motorbike taxi to go to the PL Hotel to deliver 1,000 synthetic drug pills when the drug police team raided and caught him red-handed.
Searching Tuan Anh's residence, the task force discovered an additional revolver, 5 bullets, and a Japanese sword. At the second apartment in the luxury apartment complex that Tuan Anh rented, the task force seized more than 1,000 synthetic drug pills and a large amount of crystal meth.
At the investigation agency, Tuan Anh stated that to avoid the authorities, Tuan Anh rented two apartments in a high-end apartment building in Phu Nhuan district as his headquarters and to store goods. Tuan Anh never directly met the person who needed to buy the goods, but all transactions were done via phone. After placing an order and "finalizing the price", Tuan Anh often hired a motorbike taxi to deliver the goods.
Because they did not know that the packages were drugs and Tuan Anh paid more for the fare, many drivers happily delivered them to Tuan Anh. Even when receiving the goods, Tuan Anh hired a motorbike taxi and never picked them up. Because he was selling illegal goods, Tuan Anh always knew that there would be many competitors who wanted to take him down or that he would be surrounded by the police, so Tuan Anh always carried a revolver with him.
District 7 police continue to investigate and expand the case.
