Lu Van Doi (born in 1976) in Nga My commune, Tuong Duong district is unemployed but likes to party and show off. After becoming addicted to drugs, Doi invited his accomplices, Luong Van Diep and Luong Van Phong, who live in the same village, to carry drugs to retail to drug addicts in the area. After many trips along National Highway 48C to find drugs, Doi, Diep and Phong realized that Pu Huot peak is the place with the most favorable conditions to practice the profession. This is where boss Luong Van May (41 years old) gathers drug addicts from 3 districts including Tuong Duong, Quy Hop and Con Cuong. Luong Van May is a very cunning person in the white death trade. May had been in and out of prison for retailing heroin so he was very experienced. After being released from prison, he went up to Pu Huot peak and decided to set up a camp on the edge of the forest to trade drugs. This is a high, remote hill, from the top of the hill you can observe the surroundings, easily hide in the forest if there is "motion"... May uses secret codes carved on tree roots along the forest to deliver and receive drugs, causing many difficulties for the investigation and destruction work of the police force. For a long time, May has gathered a team of many henchmen, using drugs to lure and turn these henchmen into effective henchmen, ready to risk their lives to protect him.
“A thick orange peel has sharp nails”, in March 2013, the drug police force of Nghe An Province Police successfully destroyed a drug gang, arresting the boss Luong Van May and his two close followers, Kiem Thi Ly Vong and Chuong Van Oanh. After May’s gang on Pu Huot peak was destroyed, his followers were like headless snakes, drifting to other places to find food. Among these drug dealers, Doi, Diep and Phong were the most daring. When the situation calmed down, all three decided to return to their profession openly and openly. Like Luong Van May, this group also chose the remote mountain area of Highway 48 as their center, but to avoid detection, they set up camp in Khe Quynh area in Xieng My commune. This is a stream located quite far from residential areas but close to Highway 48C. On the edge of the stream, this group set up tents to serve drug addicts. To avoid being detected and caught, this group often asked addicts to use drugs on the spot, only selling to acquaintances. Their plot was to turn Khe Quynh into a drug retail location, supplying white goods to addicts along Highway 48C. This area was always carefully guarded, all 3 subjects had homemade guns, ready to fire if surrounded and caught...

The subject in the drug case was arrested by Tuong Duong District Police. |
The reappearance of the drug den in Khe Quynh area has complicated the security and order situation in Tuong Duong district; many families have become tragic as more and more people are involved in drugs. Faced with this situation, Tuong Duong district police decided to quickly destroy this gang, bringing peace to the people. Scout groups were mobilized secretly to Khe Quynh in the direction of National Highway 48C, another group crossed the forest, entered Khe Quynh from behind, forming a pincer movement, surrounding many sides. After understanding the rules of operation of the leaders in this drug retail den, the attack order was issued, from all sides, the scout force bravely rushed forward, one by one to control Lu Van Doi, Luong Van Diep and Luong Van Phong. When seeing the police force, all 3 hastily took out their guns to fight back but were quickly knocked down. Conducting a quick search of the camp area, the police discovered and confiscated 19.4 grams of heroin, 2 million VND in cash and 3 homemade guns.
The plot to turn the rugged mountainous area on Highway 48C into a drug market by the cunning "old foxes" could not be carried out. From now on, these subjects will have to stand before the bar, face prison sentences, and pay the price for their crimes. Since the Khe Quynh hot spot was eliminated, the security and order situation in the border area has changed positively, and the people in the area are extremely happy because those who spread white death have had to pay the price.
In recent times, Tuong Duong District Police have continuously achieved feats in the fight against drugs. Before destroying the drug den in Khe Quynh, the District Police had monitored, ambushed and arrested May Van Put (born in 1982), residing in Yen Tinh Commune, while he was carrying 21.7 grams of heroin for retail sale. Previously, Tuong Duong District Police also successfully destroyed Project 114M, arresting Lo Van Dinh (born in 1988), residing in Lo Village, Xa Luong Commune, Tuong Duong District, while he was retailing drugs to addicts on National Highway 7... |
