The investigation agency initially arrested 2 subjects, seized a large amount of drugs and 2.7 billion VND.
The identities of the arrested subjects are: Do Van Binh (51 years old, residing in Hai Son commune, Hai Hau district) and Vu Van Thien (44 years old, residing in Hai Ninh commune, Hai Hau district). In which, Thien (with 2 previous convictions for human trafficking and fraud) is the leader, directly involved in illegal drug trading; and Binh is one of Thien's "agents".
During the search of Vu Van Thien, the police discovered and seized 11 heroin cakes; 1.5 kg of "crystal" drugs, 84 pink pills, 2.7 billion VND and many related evidences.
