Nguyen Huu Tuan is one of the important links in the drug trafficking and transportation ring from Thanh Chuong to Vinh City for consumption.
Tuan had a previous conviction for theft. After being released from prison, he returned to his hometown to work as a taxi driver. Taking advantage of his job of regularly transporting passengers to various locations, Tuan quickly connected with drug dealers in the area to transport drugs.
On January 26, the Task Force received important information that Tuan was preparing to make a new transaction, so they planned to crack the case.
At around 6:10 p.m. on January 26, 2019, Tuan drove into the Shanghai Hotel in Hung Binh Ward, Vinh City. Task forces quickly approached the area. A few minutes later, Tuan walked out of the hotel with a bag in hand.

Detectives raided and arrested Tuan. During the on-site search, the task force seized 2 kg of crystal meth and a black car.
Tuan confessed that because he worked as a taxi driver, he became acquainted with some people involved in drugs. From then on, instead of transporting passengers, Tuan was hired by the subjects to transport drugs. With 2 kg of drugs in hand, Tuan agreed to carry them for a person he did not know.
