On September 28, the People's Court of Quy Hop district opened a mobile trial to try the criminal case against two brothers, Mac Van Cau and Mac Van Linh, for the crime of "illegal drug trafficking".

According to the indictment: At about 8:00 a.m. on June 16, 2017, Kim Van Hung, residing in Chau Quang commune, went to Cau and Linh's house in Bang village, Chau Ly commune (in the same district of Quy Hop) to buy a package of drugs for 200,000 VND. While the two were selling drugs, the police discovered and caught them red-handed. At Cau and Linh's house, the police discovered and seized 2 packages of heroin weighing 0.23g; Hung was also found with 1 package of heroin weighing 0.035g.

At the investigation agency, Cau and Linh confessed that because both brothers were drug addicts, they invited each other to Na Co bridge, Binh Chuan commune (Con Cuong) to buy drugs for use. After buying the drugs, Cau and Linh agreed to divide them to sell for profit.

The People's Court sentenced Mac Van Cau to 24 months in prison and Mac Van Linh to 18 months in prison under Clause 1, Article 194 of the Penal Code.

Regarding Kim Van Hung, considering that there were not enough elements to constitute a crime, Quy Hop police imposed an administrative penalty.
