The police have just busted a sophisticated gambling den, arrested 36 people, seized about 800 million VND and many cars and motorbikes.
Through the work of grasping the area, the Lam Dong Provincial Police detectives discovered suspicions about a group of subjects specializing in organizing large-scale mobile gambling in the area of Ha Lam commune, Da Huoai district. Colonel Truong Minh Duong, Director of Lam Dong Provincial Police, assigned Lieutenant Colonel Dau Xuan Bao, Deputy Director, to directly direct the investigation and handling of the case.
On the evening of April 13, dozens of police officers divided into many groups, crossed the forest, waded through streams, and suddenly raided the bamboo forest area in Hamlet 4, Ha Lam Commune, about 4km from National Highway 20. There, the police caught 36 subjects red-handed gambling in the form of "cockfighting" and "dice shaking". All subjects were controlled and arrested. Police seized evidence of about 800 million VND in cash, gambling tools, and nearly 40 cars and motorbikes.
The group of people participating in gambling all have complicated backgrounds. Some of them have criminal records for gambling, coming from many places, including Lam Dong, Dong Nai, Kon Tum, Dak Nong... Gambling activities are often organized by this group on the move, with 4 layers of people carefully guarding them and a tight surveillance system. To participate in gambling, players must have acquaintances or go through a thorough multi-step check.
Currently, the Investigation Police Agency of Lam Dong Province Police is continuing to consolidate records and clarify the behavior of each subject.
