To have drugs to sell to customers, the next day Sy bought them from a man named Long “deo” (unknown background and address), for 195 million VND. After taking out some drugs to use, Sy hid them next to the power station and did not keep them in his house.
On the evening of June 2, 2022, Sy drove to the Vinh City bypass, hid drugs at the foot of a traffic sign post, and then left. Over the phone, Sy instructed Phuc on where to hide the drugs. After receiving the "goods", Phuc drove to Ben Thuy 2 Bridge and was discovered and arrested by the authorities.
Based on Phuc's testimony, the police arrested Sy. The authorities determined that Dang Danh Sy must bear criminal responsibility for illegally possessing nearly 5 grams of drugs and trading more than 384 grams of various drugs. Chu Van Phuc must bear criminal responsibility for trading more than 450 grams of drugs.
At the trial, the two defendants confessed honestly, showing remorse. Both admitted to being drug addicts. Regarding drug trafficking, the two defendants admitted to being greedy.
