Receiving information from the people that in the Lam River area, passing through Hamlet 4, Nam Trung Commune, Nam Dan District, there were a number of boats illegally mining sand outside the licensed mining area, at about 12 noon on August 10, the working group of Nam Dan District Police coordinated with the Nam Trung Commune Police Department to inspect the above location and discovered an iron-hulled motorboat sucking sand from the bottom of the river to the boat's hold.
The motorboat is owned by Mr. Tran Minh Dien (born 1970, residing in Hung Lam commune, Hung Nguyen district).
During the inspection, the people on the boat did not comply and drove the boat away to another location.
The police force persuaded these people to bring their boat back to the alluvial area of hamlet 14, Nam Trung commune, but they did not comply. These people did not present any relevant documents and then left the boat.
